My first property was a short sale. The process is the same, just takes longer (mine took 3-4 months) and one more party involved that needs to sign off on everything (the bank). Also don’t expect the bank to do a lot of repairs.

Why do leaders keep comparing how “good”the new staff/seniors have it because they make more money starting out then they did and working 55 hours is better than the 70-80 hours they used to work? Instead they should compare what options they have available to them and what their goals are.
