They are being micro-managed to death until they are just mindless clerks.So they will ask for an appraisal based on recent-like-sale-property comps.If the comps show that the offer is within some close range of the appraised value - they will approve the deal.If the offer is too far out of the money they might counter-offer - but more likely in my experience; just say: nope; offer rejected.But the real problem to me with short sales is that ANY change in the deal, no matter how slight, always sets the deal back to square one.

Clay, I haven't bought any government trailers, but they do spell out the process here: http://gsaauctions.gov/gsaauctions/gsaauctions/Scroll down to trailers to see what is currently available.You (or the owner) should be able to get a written offer for lease of the mineral rights.Depending upon how management intensive the rentals are, I'd try to get at least 2% a month in income of what I pay.
