It will be a short pay off, but still they want to get whatever money they can.If you want to buy this short sale, get a loan and purchase it as a regular purchase. 

@Chad Clanton is correct, though – it's not required to view investments, participate in discussions, or otherwise interact with the site.  

But it's not a regular person looking to sell their house like the class taught, it's a frustrated land-lord. 

If it was me, so long as the tenants have been there for quite some time, they have record of regular payments, and a low tendency for trouble making, I would much rather take the paycheck than the negative cash flow  straight out of the gate. 

For real time interaction with other members, jump in and answer posts or comment on subjects you are interested in or knowledgeable about; and build your network! 

This work for rent sounds bit extreme, but I have definitely heard of legitimate, capable workers who is willing to take a discounted pay for 1) long term, regular job and 2) dree housing.  

But it's set up as a regular ACH processing through my bank.

And that relationship is going to be built on positive interactions.  

Carter Melvin also organized a meetup last month among BP members interested in commercial RE but not sure if there's any intention to make that a regular thing. 

But to give you a general answer, it's using "regular" income for down payments and then "reloading" for the subsequent downpayment.
