Bank Owned properties: How do I get information about REO for free? I have found some houses that are currently bank owned (I assume a REO). I have found these through a site that lists pre-foreclosures, foreclosed houses up for auctions, and bank owned properties...

I have a Great Plan to help eliminate bank owned forclosed properties and save them money How do I sell it? This plan would help the borrowers and the Banks or Mortgage companies.

Is it true that bank-owned REO properties are usually being sold to the highest bidder? Banks (REO sellers) only care about the bottom line (ie the final number). They don't care about other factors such as buyer's FICO scores (750 or 800), down payment amount (20% or 40%), or it's the 2nd highest bid. Do they counter few highest bidders to submit the "highest and best" offer OR they just simply take the highest bid received without even countering the rest?
Bank owned properties? Recently, I have been looking at buying bank owned houses in my area. The properties are almost ripped bare (broken and scratched floors, appliances removed, holes in the walls, carpet, shower heads, lights stolen or windows broken...)

None of the properties were worth the money they are asking for as one has to put few hundred thousands to renovate them. Are you observing the same? And john McCain wants to buy these using our money?

Questions about carrying costs for a bank-owned foreclosure property? I can’t find any internet sources on this so hopefully someone here can help.

Is it just the foregone mortgage payments? Thanks so much in advance!
