buying REO/bank owned properties

What is the best way to put in an offer on bank owned properties? I would be using conventional financing, no hard money no cash. I would not be bidding on auction, these are just listed on the MLS. Is it even possible to buy the bank owned properties without up front cash? I would of course be able to provide a pre-approval letter for financing from a conventional bank or credit union. Does the bank that owns the property even finance the property to the buyer or is that against the law?

If you are lucky enough to find out what bank hold the property, I suggest try to be pre approved for that particular bank before you put an offer.
