Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Legal and financial implications of a

I own a mobile home and the market has turned upside-down. What are the pros and cons of engaging in a "short sale" transaction? Are there other options? My bank is telling me I can't take a short sale -- is that true? I'd like to get out from under this debt with little or no impact on my credit. We are a 2-income household, and we just built a new house. I would like advice on getting out of this 2 mortgage situation!
