Are these properties essentially leftovers?
Since REO's are bank owned and have already gone through the foreclosure and auction process does that mean they are a less desired investment property? I would think that all of the seasoned and experienced investors who buy their properties via auction or at the courthouse steps would have picked the property up during the foreclosure process if it really had good opportunity. Especially in a competitive market where there are tons of investors looking for deals every day. What are some example instances where a property would go through the foreclosure and auction process and make it to the REO stage but still have potential to be a great investment opportunity? Was the property just overlooked? Perhaps listed incorrectly? Went under the radar?
