In the area of REOs, each bank and lender works differently, but all have similar goals - to get the best price possible and have no interest in dumping the real estate as cheaply as possible by using what is sometime an entire department at a bank that is set up to manage REO inventory. REO properties in poor condition will generally require an all cash offer and be sold as is. The banks will seek to limit their liability in these situations.
