Unique challenges may be present when dealing with owners of homes in foreclosure. They could be opposed to allowing an inspection of the home. Sometimes the properties show signs of vandalism, unfortunately at the hands of the residents themselves. Or, it's likely you'll discover nobody has occupied the house for months or the home languishing in disrepair for extended periods of time.

For a property that has already returned to REO, you most likely will want it off your hands as quickly as possible. In any case, you'll still want to consider three ways of determining the value of the subject property:

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