Answer 2

HUD:  These homes are sold as is, you except the home the way it is (buyer beware) also same for REO (real estate owned - bank owned).  Some of these homes will not have the utilities on.  So if the home was sitting through the winter there is the possibility of burst plumbing.

Mortgage company's:

1) Are any hidden fees?

2) pre payment of mortgage penalty?

3) points?
