WHOLESALE ON A SHORT SALE....Any Advice?

[Karen Tinley]

Hi.  I know a person who is preparing to do a short sale on their home.  I heard bells going off in my head.  I asked her to tell me what the bank needs before she puts the house on the market.  I've got buyers ready to go if the numbers are right.  My question is....What issues has anyone come across wholesaling a short sale?  Is it harder?  Is it easier because I personally know the homeowner?  Any insight would be much appreciated.
