Realistically? No.

Now, some might say you could do a lease/option with this renter. But your ARM adjusts in one year. And it will take many years before the payments knock down the loan balance to the point where you could sell for more than the payoff. Further, it would be, IMHO, wrong to sell a property worth $170K to someone fro $240K, even if they were willing.

But, what are the terms of the loan? Is the current payment interest only or amortizing? What's the recast rate when the year is up?

Now, what you might be able to do is a short sale. If this tenant can actually get a loan and has some down payment money, the bank might agree to a short. Especially to an OO, since an OO probably isn't looking for the same discount over fair value than an investor would want. Have you approached the bank about a short sale? Do you have some hardship that could be used to justify a short?

The short sale is going to be a big hit on your credit.

Thanks John, the prior post was about another property. Looks like short sale will be the only way to make it work.
