The mortgage investors that are selling lender owned foreclosures utilize asset managers that handle the transactions. It is very important to understand the terms of REO contracts. Many of the properties are sold in "as-is" condition where repairs will not be made. When buying a "fix-up" property, renovation financing such as the FHA 203(k) program may be needed. Contracts that are contingent upon the sale of the current home will normally be rejected.

Short Sale Pre-foreclosure transactions require third party approval. The secured mortgage lenders must approve the sales because the proceeds will be less than the outstanding mortgage obligations. Home buyers and their buyer agents need to be very selective when considering short sale listings. It is important to know if the mortgage obligations are in default and the status of any foreclosure actions.
