Our house payment has increased by $900 and one of the family members has lost job, so most likely we'll have to go with a foreclosure (no equity for refinance). Anyways we have been talking to some loan officers/realtors and they said that "short-sale" is one of the options to can take to save our credit and avoid foreclosure. Taking their advice, I called several companies who had "We Buy Houses" ad on the road sides and their offers seemed too good to be true, saying that they will offer 5 months rent for free if we agree to let them buy our house in short sale. This obviously seems like a scam. So I just wanted to know what is the "correct" procedure to go with a short -sale and what things should be avoided ?

( 2nd Option)
Moreover, we are also thinking about doing a "quit-claim" and transfering the property title to only one family member. However, our loan had several co-borrowers so we were wondering if doing a quit-claim save the rest of the families credit ?
