Owners of property in foreclosure, of course, can present specific challenges. They could be combative when it comes to allowing the appraiser access to the property. Sometimes the homes show signs of vandalism, unfortunately at the hands of the former residents. Or, it's common to discover nobody has occupied the house for months or the home neglected for long periods of time.

For a home that has gone back to REO, you probably will be going for a quick resolution. However, you may want to know and analyze the concepts of "as-is", "as repaired", and "quick sale" values. These represent:

• The value of the property without any repairs done to it
• Value with the work due to make the home marketable at full market value - consistent with similar homes in the area
• With minor investment in repairs - to sell the property quickly, likely to someone who'd prefer to finish the job themselves
