Specific challenges might be present when working with owners of property in foreclosure. They could 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 common to find the residents have moved out or the home languishing in disrepair for long periods of time.

For a home that has gone back to Real Estate Owned, you probably will be seeking an expedited resolution. In any case, you'll still want to consider three ways of determining the value of the asset (or in some cases, liability):

• As Repaired. Possible market value with the repairs required to make the home marketable at full market value - in accordance with similar real estate in the neighborhood
• As-is. The value of the home without any work performed
• Quick sale. With minor investment in repairs - to offload the property quickly, probably as a "fixer-upper"
