I was searching homes in and around my area when a friend of mine informed me about Bank Owned homes a.k.a. REO properties, or Real Estate Owned properties. Either way you look at it the homes were an unsuccessful sale at a foreclosure auction. Which means that they are the perfect deal when it comes to buying a home.. minus the fact that most of them are buy as-is homes. So with that in mind I started searching for REO banks and I came across a bunch of banks that have their own Real Estate Owned (REO) property databases. I’ve listed the ones that I know of and could find.. If you know of any others please feel free to leave them with a comment.
