Short sales are too much work with little return!

After 9 months trying to close a short sale it ended up on the court house steps.  Over 100 hours of work with no pay.  If a bank has the loan insured then they have no intention of taking a short sale.  We are seeing that more and more.  Why bother.  The only value I can see is to have a deceptive low priced listing out there that will bring in buyers!!!!!!!!
