Does B of A accept Sale Option Contracts for Short Sales?

[Jonathan Sowinski]

I have located a potential short sale seller (NY State) who’s mtg is with Bank of America.

I am still in the "discovery/due diligence" period so do not know all the details and whether it will be worth going after and for what price.

It was suggested that I sign an Option Contract for Sale and Purchase. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with B of A short Sales being accepted with Option contracts.

Or does anyone have any other suggestions as to how to move forward?
