bidding on a fannie mae property
hello,
A little advice, please. I'm very interested in a fannie mae homepath property and it's listed at 79,900. It has a beautiful floor plan but needs tons of repairs. I bet homes in that area sell for 130-140k. The home may need a roof, foundation work, new sheetrock inside, needs new flooring, paint, possible termites or old termite damage, huge expensive trees cut down...
I want to bid 40k. Insane? Possible? It's been on the market 68 days. Of 40 is insane, what's a logical bid?

You say you "bet" that home values are $130k-$140k and that the home "may" need substantial repairs.
Sounds like you have a lot of due diligence to do before proceeding.
Agree with others that say market time means zero to them. They want top dollar.
