I'm caught between a rock and a hard place!!!

I have a rental property that was IIB/discharged.  I tried to sell it to a relative post BK however the appraisal came 25k short of the loan balance. (130k balance; 105k appraised).

Deal went dead.

Now I want to do a SS and I recently consulted a CDPE in the area.  He stated that in order to do the SS, I would have to have the mortgage lien "removed" from the BK estate. Hence once removed I, the seller would open the doors for the $ deficiency if the property were sold SS.

Is this true?  I have reached out to my BK attorney for clarification and he has not yet responded. I really need to sell. Renter/relative has been paying mortgage since inception.. and are continuing to pay today.

Another obstacle - Arms Length Transaction rule.  Renter who wants to buys is a relative.

Anyone experienced something like this or know of someone?  Appreciate all suggestions and advices!

Thank you.
