REO's are bank owned properties and as banks are in the business of lending money on homes it's likely anything described as a REO is from a foreclosures. These properties often have deferred maintenance as the owner of record has little incentive to keep things up during the foreclosure process. I highly recommend a thorough inspection from a licensed contractor or inspector before submitting your offer. While the home is likely sold "as is" you can use the findings to justify a lower offer and the lender might use the report to justify accepting it to their board of directors.

Good luck to you and consider using my free online prequal calculator to determine how much loan you can likely qualify for @ http://www.gregzaccagni.com/RequiredIncomeCalc

Anna,

I am pretty sure when you get out to the property you will find out why it is priced below market. If it looks like a great deal have your realtor check on similar recent sales in the neighborhood. If it still looks good to you go for it and make an offer! Happy house hunting!
