Can a homeowner in foreclosure quit claim deed property for money
Can a homeowner in foreclosure accept money and quit claim deed their property? And then can that new homeowner try to do a short sale with the bank and be the buyer and essentially the seller?

@Juan Chavez No. The Borrower has to still be the owner/seller in a short sale transaction. If the deed is transferred to someone else, the lender will have to foreclose. Heirs/borrowers with an HECM have little incentive though to go through a short sale.
