You COULD be possible breaking a law. If you intend on negotiating Short Sales in Florida, you need to have a talk with an Attorney that specializes in Real Estate Law. Tell the attorney everything you "want" to do and how you plan on doing it. The attorney will be the ONLY person that can tell you if you are doing anything illegal.
Hope this helps, even though it is not the answer you were looking for.

Guess I didn't state, I'm not an Attorney. I've gone over this with my Attorney in depth. There are several grey areas in Florida, but I would not even test them.
p.s. An Attorney could also negotiate third party debt, but as crosswind stated. I would definitely seek legal counsel.
