Sorry, no free appraisal here, that is why you need to hire your own.

However, keep in mind that all of the details that you have listed is NOT relevant when making an offer on a foreclosure. The bank simply plugs the numbers into a computer, and has already a percentage range of what they will take for it, if you "hit" that number, they will accept your offer, if it’s low, they will hold onto it, and if it’s high, of course, they will accept it.

Buying a foreclosure is not the same process as buying a resale home.

    with soooo many homes on the market, WHY bother with this one? Surely there are others that you could purchase needing less work and still get a good price on. Otherwise, you would need to pay for an appraisal and make an offer from that….
