If it is a rental that she is current on and doesn't have some big hardship then probably not a good candidate for a short sale but if she just wants to get rid of it then she might bring money to the table for the privilege of not owning it anymore.If the place needs a lot of repairs and some bigger houses are going for as little as $75K (BTW $75-120K is a BIG range, you need to tighten that up a lot) around you then it is very likely that it is not worth $40K.How motivated did she seem to be rid of it?  

I don't want to pay for the privilege to allow the bank to make interest off my money.
