Short Sale Questions

[Dennis Brody]

Hello Bigger Pockets,

I am looking for some guidance on navigating short sales.  I am working on a deal where that owner of the property has passed away and has no family.  The home is in bad shape probably worth about 50k as it sits.  There is a mortgage for 80k.  I was told if you can get a realtor to write a refusal to list letter.  You could have a much easier time negotiating with the bank.  I have never done a short sale and would appricaite all the help I can get.

Thank you all,
