Owners of properties in foreclosure, of course, can present specific challenges: They could be unwilling to allow an inspection of the home. Often the homes show signs of vandalism, unfortunately at the hands of the former residents themselves. Or, it's common to find nobody has occupied the house for months or the home neglected for extended periods of time.

For real estate that has already gone back to REO, you most likely will be going for a quick disposition. In any case, you'll still want to consider three angles for figuring the value of the subject property:

• As Repaired. Possible market value with the work called for to make the home marketable at full market value - consistent with similar houses in the area
• As-is. The market value of the home without any repairs performed
• Quick sale. Somewhere in between, with minimal investment in repairs - to get rid of the property quickly, likely as a "fixer-upper"
