No. USCIS or DOS will look at your most recent income tax return and current income (or liquid assets = 5 times any shortfall). If insufficient, you will need a co-sponsor.

Perez & Gomez Law, LLC | Ana Maria Gomez
The only way it may affect the petition is if you are using it on your affidavit of support as asset to prove that you can support your mother (and she will not be a public charge). If not, then I do not see any reason it will affect your immigration petition.

Baughman & Wang | Justin X. Wang
Most likely not. You just need to show you have enough income to meet the guideline. If not, you can also have another USC or LPR to be your co-sponsor.

It should not affect your mother's application, however you have to provide the National Visa Center with an Affidavit of Support that has to meet Poverty Guidelines or you can use someone as a co-sponsor who meets the Poverty Guidelines if you income is not sufficient.

The only impact the short-sale may have to your mom's immigration is on the affidavit of support. It could pose a problem if you used the property on the affidavit of support. While the short-sale itself may not impact her case, it may cause further inquiry into whether your mom would become a public charge once admitted. The fact that your losing your home to a short -sale made lead to an inquiry into your income and ability to meet the support requirements on the I-864.
