It has no bearing on what price the lender will agree to.Points to know....First, use an Experienced short sale Buyers agent....there are just to many things to look out for in a short sale.Find out how many mtgs/liens are on the property....many times a buyer has to pony up extra money to satisfy a junior lien holder, above what the first lender will offer them.Assuming all paperwork’s has been submitted, expect 30-60 days for bank to do a bpo and accept=counter your offer.Submit a gc repair estimate with your purchase agreement.If the comps are $200k, you’ll never get it for $80k unless there is a serious documental $100k problem with the property.

I advertised this on CL and got a call from an interested person that states he has has rental assistance that will cover most of the 'rent' and he will contribute the remaining $25 per month.

We also have a real estate focused cpa who is an expert in ozones and real estate who assists us in developing our strategy.

I see lot's of individuals using the BRRRR method to great success but not much discussion in the way of partnerships in this realm.Any thoughts, input and assistance would really be appreciated. 

@Daniel Jewell let me know what you're looking for if you'd like some assistance!

The loan is $130,000 with repairs and the ARV is $208,000.

The appliance repair guy I wanted to use for the repair told me he would charge $125 for labor if I'm able to find the part.  

I already know there is damage on one side that needs repair and am willing to forego charging the tenants for damages if they vacate by the 20 days with no further damage from the time of the inspection.

Many times, they will tell you they will do a loan to a certain percentage (first time renovators are generally at 80% of the purchase price and 100% of the renovation) and the loan cannot exceed 65-75% of the after repair value or ARV. 

The following home is in an awesome location, built in 2015, and is not in need of any repair (it's basically new condition, so I left the "after repair value" the same as the purchase price).
