Rents are about $1500 while his monthly payments lay around $2000.He now is tired of the townhome problems and wants to short sale, but I am trying to see if there is another option to save his credit and create a win-win for him.After looking at the comps I'm having difficulty searching for that solution. 

Would the winning bidder at sale have any claim to this check?
