An REO is a property that has been foreclosed on and has reverted back to the ownership of the bank or lender. Other ways to buy foreclosures are to buy at a public auction or buying bank owned or REO properties. These properties are often priced for less than what is owed on them because the bank does not want to hang on to a bunch of properties. |
