Special challenges can be present when working with owners of property in foreclosure. They may be opposed to allowing an inspection of the home. If they have abandoned the house already, they could have overlooked the care of the property for quite awhile - or unfortunately, caused damage to the house.

For real estate that has returned to Real Estate Owned, you most likely will be going for an expeditious resolution. Regardless, you'll still want to consider three angles for determining the value of the asset (or in some cases, liability):

• As Repaired. Value with the repairs needed to make the home marketable at full market value - appropriate with competing properties in the neighborhood
• As-is. The value of the home without any repairs performed
• Quick sale. Somewhere in between, with minor investment in repairs - to sell the property quickly, likely to someone inclined to finish the job themselves
