Typically on a short sale, the bank will expect you to pay the difference between the loan balance and the price that the house sells for. So if you stop making payments, you'll still owe all that money plus interest plus penalties. If money is tight (and it probably is) I'd suggest that you make a partial payment, like maybe half of your normal payment, so that the loan doesn't get delinquent and take you into foreclosure.

Can you still qualify to buy a house if you have low income?

Yes, possibly. You can buy a house for cash from savings or investment with no income at all, and then keep it as long as you can make the tax payments and other assessments. If your lack of income is "probably temporary" (like you're in prison for a short period, or "between jobs", or "in graduate school"), you may still qualify for a loan. If you cannot afford to pay the interest on a loan to purchase a house, then it is a really bad idea to consider buying a house. You will fail to make the payments and it will be taken away.
