Special challenges may be present when dealing with owners of property in foreclosure. They could be unwilling to allow an inspection of the home. Sometimes the properties have been vandalized, unfortunately by the former residents themselves. Or, it's common to find the residents have moved out or the home neglected for extended periods of time. If your property has gone back to Real Estate Owned, you will interested in a fast disposition. However, you might want to understand and examine three values: as-is, as repaired, and "quick sale." These represent the value of the home without any repairs done to it, with the repairs called for to make the house marketable at full market value comparable with the other real estate in the neighborhood, and, somewhere in the middle, with minimal investment in repairs - selling the property quickly, seemingly as a "fixer-upper".
