This has been very effective for my success.

There is a new law that went into effect as of September 1, 2008.

Sounds like BP has been very effective for you.  

If so, what is the most effective way to get it in front of the right audience (Hotel Developer?)

In terms of net income, there seems to be little downside and only upside.In terms of affecting FMs inventory of unsold houses, I don't see any effect.

The Fed rate cut has very little effect on fixed mortgage rates and frequently causes those rates to rise.

It may straighten out in the 18 months and financing won't be a problem, but if it doesn't and home values continue to decline, you may wind up with little or no equity (or worse) which means the 20% down will have to come out of your pocket plus you will need a nice clean credit history that your grandmother would be proud of.

Making the home easy to show, keeping it clean, tidy and presentable, and working in a timely manner with your agent to provide the lender the required documents for a short sale will definitely help your case.

It's just preference, and what you feel is most effective for you.

Now if you clean up your house, paint the inside and outside, put a new roof on it, and put new carpet in, I think we can get more like $90K sometime over the next 6 months or so.
