If you make an offer on a home that is potentially a short sale, you will work with the seller and the bank, with the bank (or banks) being ultimately the decision maker on your deal. REOs aren't for everybody; they have as many problems and issues as other homes, sometimes more. However, in these times, the price you pay can more than offset the cost of restoring the house to its former glory. |
