Renting a House that is Also for Short Sale

I recently rented a house that is on the market as a "short sale." I was amazed at the responses I received. The house could be sold at any time; yet, there were many people who wished to rent it. The houyse is a 3/2 with a pool in the San Carlos area of Fort Myers. I guess that the thinking of some people was that they would have a pretty pool home through the summer months at a good price ($900.00 per month). This is certainly the case, but the thought of moving twice within a relatively short period would certainly not be on my wish list.
