Buying off the MLS at a discount and selling to a cash buyer for a higher amount via a double closing is certainly possible if you know what a good deal is, have a large buyers list (not just one or two who are agents), how to properly and effectively negotiate, and where and how to find that good deal before someone else does.

I wouldn't think you could get a short sale done in a couple of weeks....If you can get an offer prepared and into the bank with the proper paperwork to get the short sale process started, the bank is likely to put off the foreclosure for some period of time (60-120 days) while the offer is considered by the asset manager.

Tenant screening, client portal, tenant e-payment, and maintenance.
