Specific challenges may be present when dealing with owners of houses in foreclosure. They could be uncooperative to allowing an inspection of the house. If they left the house already, they might have not taken care of the house for quite awhile - or worse, caused damage to the property.

For real estate that has returned to Real Estate Owned, you probably will want it off your hands as quickly as possible. In any case, you'll still want to consider three angles for looking at the value of the subject property:

• As Repaired. Value with the repairs needed to make the home marketable at full market value - commensurate with similar homes in the neighborhood
• As-is. The market value of the property without any work performed
• Quick sale. With minor investment in repairs - to get rid of the home quickly, most likely to someone inclined to finish the job themselves
