Unique challenges may be present when working with owners of homes in foreclosure. They could be uncooperative to allowing an inspection of the property. Often the homes have been vandalized, unfortunately at the hands of the former residents. Or, it's common to find a house at a minimum abandoned or the home languishing in disrepair for long periods of time.

For real estate that has gone back to REO, you most likely will be going for an expedited resolution. In any case, you'll still want to consider three angles for determining the value of the subject property:

• As Repaired. Value with the repairs necessary to make the home marketable at full market value - appropriate with similar properties in the neighborhood
• As-is. The market value of the house without any work performed
• Quick sale. Somewhere in the middle, with minor investment in repairs - to sell the home quickly, probably as a "fixer-upper"
