Owners of properties in foreclosure, of course, can present particular challenges: They may be disinclined to allow an inspection of the property. Sometimes the homes show signs of vandalism, often at the hands of the former residents themselves. Or, it's common to discover nobody has occupied the house for months or the home languishing in disrepair for extended periods of time.

You will be interested in a speedy disposition if the home has returned to Real Estate Owned. So you might want to understand and compare three values: "as-is", "as repaired", and "quick sale". These symbolize:

• The value of the property without any repairs performed
• Value with the work needed to make the house marketable at full market value - comparable with competing properties in the area
• Somewhere in the middle, with minimal investment in repairs - to get rid of the property quickly, likely to someone who'd rather finish the job themselves
