FSBO Motivated Seller

Hi All. So while I wait for my first direct mail campaign to hit their recipients, I decided to get some "phone" practice in and call a few FSBO listings for potential leads and get the hang of speaking about properties over the phone.

So this one I contacted today is very motivated;  Her work commute is very far and the house is a lot bigger than what she needs and it's tough for her to maintain, so she wants out.  The problem is, she owes on her mortgage pretty much what the comps are coming in for.  She may even be a bit underwater.  

I'm a rookie wholesaler here in Miami, FL so the easier deals for me at this point are those with some equity (meat on the bones).  But before I move on to the next lead or pass these on, I'd like the input of those more experienced becasue if I can actaully help her somehow, someway, i think i'd be off to a good start both from a customer satisfaction standpoint as well as educational... Would seller financing be an option?  Thoughts?
