You have all the same rights as with any resale. Short sales are great opportunities for buyers, however you MUST have patience. You get a chance to save money, the only difference between a short sale and a sale that is not short is that the the lender has to approve the sale ALONG with the seller.
If you do not have patience, then don’t do it.

-Note I have not given you the long diatribe of why it takes so long and the requirements for the seller. Again, from a buyers standpoint you have all the same rights. It doesn’t mean the seller or lender will agree to accept your requests though.
