Owners of houses in foreclosure, naturally, can present unique challenges: They might be uncooperative when it comes to allowing the appraiser access to the house. Sometimes the houses have been vandalized, unfortunately at the hands of the former residents themselves. Or, it's likely you'll find a house at least abandoned or the home languishing in disrepair for long periods of time.

You'll be interested in an expeditious disposition if the property has gone back to Real Estate Owned. So you need to understand and examine three values: "as-is", "as repaired", and "quick sale". These symbolize:

• The value of the house without any repairs performed
• Possible value with the repairs necessary to make the home marketable at full market value - appropriate with competing real estate in the area
• With minimal investment in repairs - to sell the home quickly, seemingly as a "fixer-upper"
