ShortSale Give away

Are you allowed to give the home owner(HO) any money when the HO needs short sale done on his house? If not give, what about pay for? Pay for things such as moving cost, rent deposit, closing cost, etc? Also, if you are allowed to give the home owner any amount of money, how much could you give them without breaking the law?

No, you cannot legally give the home owner any money from the sale. What typically happens is you “the investor” would buy some of their furniture, or personal belongings so they can have money to move. Just be reasonable.
