It is all dependent upon many factors. Wachovia is now Wells Fargo and they have a large portfolio of REO.(Real Estate Owned) Have your agent do a CMA and get an inspection done.You need as much information as you can get to get any bank owned asset manager to work with you.

Actually it's done alot in this area, especially with FHA loans. Lower offer? depends on how long it's been out there.

We get it paid about 25% of the time.

So it never hurts to ask for it! :)

Have a Profitable day!

Having had experience with Wachovia, it can be done. It will truly depend on how low you plan to offer on the property. You have to ask yourself a couple of questions, 1- Would this be a good buy? and 2- How bad do you want it? The only true way to find out is to submit an offer.

Thanks

It's possible, you can ask.  If you're going to finance through the bank that owns the property, you may have a bit more leverage.
