Occupants of dwellings in foreclosure may be opposed to allowing an inspection of the home, thus presenting special challenges. Sometimes the properties have been ransacked, often at the hands of the former residents themselves. Or, it's likely you'll find nobody has lived in house for months or the home neglected for long periods of time.

For real estate that has changed to REO, you most likely will be going for a fast disposition. Regardless, you'll still want to consider three angles for determining the value of the asset (or in some cases, liability):

• As Repaired. Value with the work due to make the home marketable at full market value - consistent with similar houses in the neighborhood
• As-is. The value of the home without any work done to it
• Quick sale. With minimal investment in repairs - to get rid of the home quickly, most likely as a "fixer-upper"
