Allowing owner to rent on a short sell

[Account Closed]

Hi there,

I'm making an offer on a short sale listed on MLS. It's the first day it has two other offers already. I'm trying to think of ways of "sweetening the pot" so the sellers will choose my offer, besides increasing the price :-).

I know the normal process is that owners can't rent out the house after the short sale. I was just wondering if I allow the seller to rent after the sale, what are the chances that the bank would allow this?
