The soon-to-be-ex thinks the house is worth $210k.

We can get you cash quickly and blackmail your Ex!"

To help explain the situation, here are some numbers:Amount on loan: $278,000Escrow Price: $270,000Location: Ontario, CaliforniaPrice of house next door for sale: $300,000 (Same size condo and lot, one less bedroom, less upgrades throughout the hosue)My plan so far is to my moms ex-boyfriend $5000-$8000 to exit escrow since he will not profit at all from the short sale.

The difference between John and myself are a bit stark...You see I am a strict teacher, ex Marine, taught Chemistry and Public Speaking in HS and college, really not THAT funny, and John is my opposite, he actually cracks himself up on a daily basis!

@Jeff V.she accepted the 65K but her ex husband wouldn't, so he killed the dealshe still lives there 

I can only affect the NOI outcome on the purchase price and do not want to stray too high on rents, to avoid vacancy issues.For Ex: A nice 3 story 3-plex, asking $76K.

Ex.

It is worth asking about a modification, if you and your ex qualify.

I have had a situation kind of similar but it involved an ex-spouse.

Here in Kansas City the waiting list to get a Section 8 voucher / Public Housing unit is 3 years, it’s definitely not an overnight process, while they do grant emergency vouchers under certain provisions, ex: displacements, death, etc, another good place to market properties to find Section 8 tenants is www.socialserve.com , I usually take flyers downtown to the Housing Authority (Section 8 office) and that actually has been most effective.
