Hi - BP has been a tremendous help so far, so I thought I would try out this new question. 

I’ve never done a short sale before, so I want to make sure I’m not missing anything important.For those who have bought short sales before:1️⃣ What are the biggest risks I should be aware of?

@Devin James  I'm straying from the question slightly, but personally if I was able to raise those funds, I would use it as a downpayment and get a loan for the rest.

My clients can "force appreciate" the value of the property by doing a quality rehab for a lower than market cost because they are very good at spotting "diamonds in the rough".

Traditional lenders won’t approve it, and hard money lenders who offer this type of financing all the time look for experience, assets, or strong equity in the deal.Partnering with someone who has financing or experience is realistic approach when starting.

What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?
