Can a wholesaler make money suggesting a short sale

[Dustin Little]

I have two sellers highly motivated to get rid of their properties.  Both sellers have not made payments on their respective properties for a few years and owe the banks more than they are worth.  One owner is currently looking into a modification loan and forgiveness on part of the amount owed.  The other owner has not begun pursuing anything except calling me.  My question, is there a way for me to make money by suggesting a short sale?  Thanks
