Deed in Lieu, Short Sale, or Cash4Keys on 2nd NPN
Scenario:
House is worth $65,000. (BPO)
Homeowner has a 1st for $58,000 and a 2nd for $15,000. (CLTV 112%)
Purchased the NPN 2nd for $2,000
She is behind on both her 1st and her 2nd by about 30 days now. The homeowner no longer wants to keep the property, but doesn't want a foreclosure.
My question is what would be the benefit and/or drawbacks of doing DIL, SS, or C4K?
Thanks for the advice in advance!

What would the property rent for? Another option is to take the property subject to the 1st and hold it as a rental. This may produce decent cash flow if the rate on the 1st is good and the 1st lien holder is willing to play ball.
