请教：short sale, 有何注意事项？

We are ready to make an offer to a short sale property for self living. There are several issues that I am concerned.
1) Do we need to put any deposit with our offer? Can we get it back later no matter if we withdraw or be rejected?
2) During the process of waiting for bank approval, can we offer on other property if anything comes up? Are we going to get any penalty if we withdraw our offer?
3) It is said "sale as is". How can we prevent the house being damaged by current owner before they move out?
4) Anything else that we need to pay attention to when we draw the contract?
Thank you very much for your kind suggestions! Have a nice weekend!
