Particular challenges can be present when dealing with owners of property in foreclosure. They may be uncooperative to allowing an inspection of the property. Often the homes have been vandalized, unfortunately at the hands of the former residents themselves. Or, it's likely you'll discover the residents have moved out or the home languishing in disrepair for extended periods of time.

For real estate that has gone back to Real Estate Owned, you probably will be interested in an expedited disposition. Regardless, you'll still want to consider three ways of figuring the value of the real estate at hand:

• As Repaired. Value with the work necessary to make the property marketable at full market value - appropriate with other houses in the neighborhood
• As-is. The value of the property without any repairs done to it
• Quick sale. With minor investment in repairs - to get rid of the home quickly, seemingly to someone who'd prefer to finish the job themselves
