Because people who are in an emotional state are preferable than people who are indifferent. 

The only way I see you getting a deal done in the next two months is to partner with a wholesaler to find an end buyer but even that will be difficult and only provide temporary funds.  

Real Estate Investing is a Business backed by knowledge and a passion...not an emotional joy ride or game of chance.The last thing you want is to lose your or your funding source's money on your first deal because you didn't do your homework and preparations properly...I see it all the time and then the individual tries to seek help after the damage is done, all to no avail. 

So a lot of this is just symantics and avoiding making an emotional decesion.  

Is his hardship temporary and over now?

Visualize and dream about your life with the financial success you desire and you'll tie your emotions to your goals.

They are used to buyers who want a home based their on emotions and not numbers.  

Find a deal that works with conservative numbers and then if you can reduce those numbers (management, maintenance, cap ex) then consider that additional cash flow bonus and temporary.

I'll say it another way-  Markets are temporary paradigms and right now money is cheap.  

Inbox me if that is of interest to you.You seem to have emotional reason moreso than financial reason to sell your home.
