A common misconception is that foreclosures and REOs are the same. Although they are similar they are in fact different with the REO being the direct result of a foreclosure option sale.

Once the foreclosure has been initiated the bank or loan company legally has the right to sell the property regardless of whether the owners have moved out or not.
