Owners of homes in foreclosure can present unique challenges. For example, they may be unwilling to allow an inspection of the home. Sometimes the homes show signs of vandalism, often at the hands of the residents. Or, it's common to discover a house at a minimum abandoned or the home languishing in disrepair for long periods of time.

If you're dealing with a house that has already returned to bank owned, you will interested in a fast disposition. However, you may want to understand and review three values: as-is, as repaired, and "quick sale". These represent:

• The value of the house without any repairs performed
• Value with the repairs necessary to make the house marketable at full market value - comparable with other houses in the neighborhood
• Somewhere in the middle, with minor investment in repairs - to sell the home quickly, most likely as a "fixer-upper"
