Occupants of houses in foreclosure may be unwilling to allow an inspection of the home, thus presenting particular challenges. If they deserted the property already, they might have overlooked the care of the house for a long time - or unfortunately, caused damage to the property.

For a home that has already returned to Real Estate Owned, you probably will be interested in an expeditious disposition. In any case, you'll still want to consider three ways of looking at the value of the real estate at hand:

• As Repaired. Value with the work called for to make the home marketable at full market value - appropriate with similar homes in the area
• As-is. The value of the house without any repairs done to it
• Quick sale. Somewhere in the middle, with minor investment in repairs - to offload the property quickly, likely as a "fixer-upper"
