Owners of houses in foreclosureunfortunately can present special challenges. For example, they could be disinclined to allow the appraiser access to the house. If they abandoned the home already, they might have overlooked the care of the home for quite awhile - or worse, caused damage to the house.

For a house that has changed to Real Estate Owned, you probably will be going for an expeditious disposition. In any case, you'll still want to consider three angles for looking at the value of the asset (or in some cases, liability):

• As Repaired. Possible market value with the work necessary to make the home marketable at full market value - appropriate with similar houses in the neighborhood
• As-is. The market value of the house without any work done to it
• Quick sale. Somewhere in the middle, with minimal investment in repairs - to get rid of the property quickly, probably to someone who'd rather finish the job themselves
