Host: What is a short pay or a short payoff?

Amelia Robinette: A short payoff is when you pay the balance of your mortgage less than what you owe. For example, you have $100,000 mortgage, the lender is willing to accept $80,000 to release from your mortgage obligation and release the lien on your property. In some cases you can refinance the short payoff for the lower loan amount. If you have assets enough to payoff your mortgage it is extremely important that you consult with a professional financial planner before making that choice.
