Relocation assistance basics
Some investor programs historically paid relocation allowances when borrowers cooperated with orderly transitions tied to deed-in-lieu or certain short-sale programs. Availability shifts by year, investor, and underwriting memo—not by blog rumor.
Verify in writing
If assistance appears, it should be explicit in an approval or closing instruction. Budget moving expenses cautiously until funds clear escrow—this is general guidance, not an offer from Short-Sale.com.
