Absolutely you can get financing to purchase a foreclosure or REO property. However, this will vary per each individual situation. For example, at a lower price point (under $400,000) you may be up against aggressive competition from investors who are able to pay all cash and this will be a more secure option for the seller (bank or trustee) involved. Additionally, some REO sellers may request you qualify with their lender prior to submitting a contract but they cannot force this. Please let me know if you have any further questions and I will be happy to answer them. Regards, Jay Lindsey, jay@jrlgrouponline.com. - Fri Sep 18 2009, 09:39
