Special challenges might be present when dealing with owners of houses in foreclosure. They might be uncooperative to allowing an inspection of the house. If they deserted the house already, they may have overlooked the care of the property for awhile - or even worse, ransacked the property.

For a house that has already returned to REO, you most likely will want it off your hands as quickly as possible. Regardless, you'll still want to consider three angles for figuring the value of the real estate at hand:

• As Repaired. Value with the repairs required to make the property marketable at full market value - appropriate with competing houses in the neighborhood
• As-is. The market value of the house without any work performed
• Quick sale. Somewhere in between, with minimal investment in repairs - to sell the home quickly, possibly to someone who'd rather finish the job themselves
