When a bank finalizes a forecloser they own it out right so negotiations are expedited. Banks often sell such properties for less than market value because it affects their balance sheets adversely, limiting their monetary reserves available for productive loans. This property is being sold “As is, Where is” which means the bank will not negotiate or pay for any repairs that may be required so the most important consideration is the physical condition of the property. Your contract offer should require a Building Inspection contingency clause to have a reputable inspector thoroughly inspect the property so you get a good idea of the cost of possible needed repairs. It should also allow you to cancel the contract if the results of the Building Inspection are unacceptable. Your contract offer should also opt for Title Insurance to make sure that any possible property liens are discovered in advance and paid from the bank’s proceeds at closing.
