Occupants of property in foreclosure could be opposed to allowing an inspection of the house, thus presenting special challenges. They could have deserted the house already and/or ignored the care of the home for awhile - or worse, intentionally harmed the house.

If you're dealing with property that has already reverted to REO, you will interested in a quick disposition. However, you might want to understand and compare three values: as-is, as repaired, and "quick sale". These correspond to:
