They both have to agree in a shortsale. As far as if they will take that low of an offer depends on who is negotiating the deal and how good they can justify your offer.

It really depends on your area as well as price ranges. The general rule is 70% of the after repaired value minus any repairs. That is what most rehabbers and landlords try to buy at. If you plan to wholesale it then you need to offer less to make your spread.

It depends on what you are doing with property wholesaling, keeping, rehabbing. In my personal opinion some of my most profitable deals have been shortsales.

List it with a realtor or put it on craigslist. A realtor will help you determine the price. You could also drive around and look at other listed properties and see what they are listed for.

You need to look into getting a loan from one of those credit consolidation companies and then get in credit repair. It will help you dramatically cut cost and get back on track. I would also look into wholesaling as a way to get into real estate you can do it now and not using any of your own money or credit. You can pay your bills off much quicker.

If you build good rapport you wont piss them off with a low ball offer, never reneg at the last second, and its better to make friends of course you need to be in constant contact with them.
