With a short sale, the basic explanation of the process is that the homeowner contacts their lender and the lender reviews the homeowner’s specific situation (financials, hardship and reason they are seeking to sell the property, etc.).

He would be looking to just roll over around $300,000 and let that stand as our down payment on the $600,000 loan.

But is there anything creative or note worthy you’ve done to stand out or increase the value of your small multi family?

I am not going to take this not as a financial question because she doesn't really cut it now financially. 

For most people, it is extra income, or to accelerate your path to financial independence.

I will for sure look into becoming an agent first and start part-time, that may be the most financially viable option too.
