Good question..... Can you confirm this issue? Investment property/rental condo purchased solely for rental income....... Can short sale be done without taxable liability???? Please advise. ie: Orig. purchase condo, 2 BR - 2BA apt conversion @ $475 K w/ mortgage bal. @ $302 K...... Resale comps. now $220 K & hopeless recovery. Bad deal & need to short sale!!!

Does MFDRA apply to investment property as well or only owner-occupied residences?
