I can see them doing that, and then down the road, the daughter sues the lender for the impact of a short sale on her credit report, for a transaction she did not participate in and/or did not authorize.

I'm aware of the down payment programs, but haven't participated.

But as a former employee of VRBO (when the original founders owned the company and I was part of the team that helped build the site to what it is today) I obviously am proud that "VRBO" has become a noun as well as a verb in this industry. :-)We purchased our 1st STR in Summit County, CO in 2012 and since then have bought a new STR property every 2 years since, with the exception of 2017 when we bought a home in the city in VA where our alma mater is located.

Since that time I have participated in countless training, Masterclass, Expert, and 1 on 1 sessions with short term rental experts as well as the LuxHomePro team.

The Army, in an attempt to assure me a measure of success, will allow me to participate in an UNPAID internship of my choosing.

Glad to see another person out there seeing value and the potential we are all proud of.

Hi @Seth Deitchman, I have been to, participated and won a few tax deed/lien auctions. 

I publish my results for all to see: I'm proud of them in a humble kind of wayhttps://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/600/topics/58...

If you do keep the home, possibly looking into (if not already) putting it in a trust with you, and any other participating family members.
