Q: My grandmother fell ill and my husband and I had to get a house that had a floor plan that could accommodate her. Unfortunately, our other house wouldn’t sell. We found a couple who was interested in doing a lease-purchase. They fell through on the deal and moved out last month. What I was wondering is, since we are upside-down on our mortgage now, what would our best option be? I have heard of “short sales” but is this really the best option? We are having trouble renting it out. I really would just like it gone, especially because we never intended on having a rental property in the first place. Any advice would be great! Thanks. — K.
