Occupants of property in foreclosure could be opposed to allowing an inspection of the property, thus presenting specific challenges. Often the houses have been ransacked, often at the hands of the former residents. Or, it's likely you'll discover a house at a minimum abandoned or the home languishing in disrepair for long of time. For real estate that has changed to bank owned, you likewise will be seeking a speedy resolution . But you may want to understand and examine three values: as-is, as repaired, and "quick sale." These correspond to the worth of the house without any repairs done to it, with the work due to make the home marketable at full market value consistent with the other real estate in the neighborhood, and, somewhere in the middle, with minimal investment in repairs - selling the property quickly, most likely to someone inclined to finish the job themselves.
