Occupants of homes in foreclosure could be uncooperative to allowing an inspection of the house, thus presenting specific challenges. If they moved out of the property already, they could have ignored the care of the home for some time - or even worse, damaged the home.

For a home that has already returned to Real Estate Owned, you probably will want it off your hands as quickly as possible. Regardless, you'll still want to consider three angles for looking at the value of the real estate at hand:

• As Repaired. Possible market value with the repairs needed to make the property marketable at full market value - appropriate with other properties in the neighborhood
• As-is. The value of the property without any repairs done to it
• Quick sale. Somewhere in between, with minor investment in repairs - to offload the property quickly, likely as a "fixer-upper"
