Hi,Looking at the property is most important. if you tell her you can just drive by or look inside to determine if you will make a full offer or if she will have to bring money to the table she may help out more.When you get the address you might be able to google it and at least see the outside and the neighborhood the street view.Short sales take a lot of time and red tape, it has to be approved and the seller will have to prove she can no longer make the normal payments.If that is the case the mortgage holder is looking for a magic number, I have done a few of these.What else is going on with this deal?

You can't make generalizations about any areas in Indianapolis since it can vary street to street.

The same can be said for up the street in Jersey City.

This building was a self managed operation the owner lived across the street.
