In an REO situation, the bank will handle eviction of the defaulted prior owner, if necessary, and may do some repairs. An REO can be financed through a number of methods including cash, hard money, conventional and FHA. Many investors choose to use property managements and home warranties on their REO rental homes to minimize their time commitment. It is critical for REO buyers to communicate competence, integrity and ability to close escrow to the listing REO agent.

This is not the most desirable method but will suffice when interior access is not possible.
