Yeah don’t you remember I kind of did pooh pooh on it… Of course that was right before the August credit events…Anyways like I said, your feeling was petty well timed. Not sure prices did a full tilt but it was the initiation of some of the credit problems really coming to light.

Dealhunter I have seen alot of REO’s akin to what you stated and I have seen others in surprisingly good shape. I am not sure the OP really meant to actually purchase a home at a trustee sale. More likely at one of the REDC auctions or even an MLS REO.
The biggest misconception people have about buying an REO is the liability release. However if you know what you are getting into, and get ALL of your diligence done you can do pretty well pricewise.
