Debbie,
There are a lot of good answers to your question already, however we would need more information from you.
My best advice at this point would be to make sure the real estate professional you are working with is very familiar with the foreclosure process as well as short sales.
It`s a very confusing process, and not many agents REALLY know their stuff.

Dan,
It will typically add $3000 + on up, depending on many factors, age, location, ect.
Generally, it`s much harder to sell a home with no garage at all.
Good question. - Wed May 28 2008, 11:03
Monica,
Of course I`m partial, but Southwest Michigan has a lot to offer.
Hugging Lake Michigan shoreline we have great beaches, inland lakes, rivers, wineries, golf, and just some real scenic country. Primarily rural. - Thu May 22 2008, 10:26
Roberta,
I am an accredited buyers agent and e-pro.
I live in Buchanan and my office is in Stevensville. If you haven`t found help yet I would be happy to research the property and the comparable sales for you.
I have been a life long resident of the area.
Thank you! - Thu May 22 2008, 09:20
Hopefully you are approved for an FHA 203k (rehab loan), when working with REOs.
Many banks I have worked with will not even respond to an offer with ANY contingencies, and many will not respond to goverment backed loan programs unless it`s rehab because they don`t want to deal with passing inspections or instituting repairs. - Thu May 22 2008, 08:58
