You cannot do a short sale until you've aladrey missed payments. If you are up to date on your mortgage, the bank has no reason to worry and therefore will not accept a short sale. The bank knows you can still make the payments because you still are, and will expect you to continue to fulfill your end of the bargain. If you do fall behind on payments, you have to have a good reason why. Such reasons might be a death in the family, loss of job or an injury that has kept you from working. A short sale protects the owners credit when the borrower can no longer make the payments. In that event, the bank realizes it'll take many more months to wait to evict you and sell it themselves than if they cooperate with you and allow you to retain possession of the house while they sell it. The bank takes the financial hit and pays all the fees in the sale of the property, but in turn, the owner is not entitled to any equity that has built up on the property.If you have absolutely no equity in the house and just want to get rid of it, you might want to do research or talk with a lawyer about a quitclaim deed. With that deed, you sign off all your rights to someone else and they take on all the responsibility you once had. If nobody you know wants the property, I'm sure there are investors who will be more than happy to take it off your hands, rent it out and wait a few years for the market to rise. Then, you can move on to a less expensive house free from the hassle of your overpriced property.I am not a lawyer and not qualified to give legal advice, so please speak with an attorney about your options. Some of them may give you some quick advice over the phone without charging you. Good luck
