The first thing people associate with buying an REO is getting a low price. When REO's are purchased directly from the bank or credit union there is generally no commission, fee, hidden cost, auction registration charge, etc. These properties are sold only to cover a loss. In almost no circumstance does the bank or credit Union net a profit from the sale.

The lenders DO NOT want these properties and they are priced accordingly to sell quick.
