Putting a short sale home under contract?

[Fredy F.]

For example, house has a listing short sale price of $50,000 is it possible to negotiate the price with a listing agent, put it under contract and wholesale to one of my buyers?

J Scott said this in another thread. I suggest you heed the advice:

"I would highly recommend NOT trying to wholesale short sales these days. You will be required to sign an affidavit at closing indicating that you know of no transactions or agreements currently relating to the property that haven't been disclosed to the lender. If you have an end-buyer lined up already, there IS an agreement and your signing that affidavit would constitute fraud"
