Can a renter purchase the home he is renting in a short sale and it still be considered an arms length transaction?

The renter is someone she knows and has been paying her rent to live there. There is no formal lease. Does that make a difference?

I would say it isn't necessary, but if you had a lease agreement, it may help. We have seen many tenants purchase short sales and it has not been a problem. On the same note though many banks will complete a buyer verification internally to audit the buyer. If the bank finds a reason for concern with the buyer ( family, potential financial benefits to the borrower ) they would not allow them to purchase the property.
