Short Sale objections

[Account Closed]

Hello,
Some of my pre foreclosure owners are perfect candidates for a short sale, (1st and second notes are about equal to the market value, or are upside down) but they have basically given up on homeownership, and are planning to walk away from the home. They have accepted that their credit is trashed, and think that a foreclosure will not make it any worse, or it does, they don't care anymore. I tell them that a foreclosure is worse than BK on your record. So, they do not see the point in assisting me with the short sale, and I can't do much without their help. And I can't legally offer them money as an inducement. Does anyone have any words of wisdom to counter these depressing objections? Thanks for any help, Mike :violin:
