You should hire an attorney to negotiate with the tenant. You flying out and asking her to leave will accomplish nothing. She can just tell you no she won't leave and you cannot just remove her. You will have to go through the eviction process and that could be weeks. You can negotiate now for a written stipulation that could shorten the time to get a writ (the order that allows for removal from the premises).

As to the short sale, you should contact a local real estate broker who has ample experience in this area. Contact an attorney as soon as possible so they can advise you on the tenant and other matters.
