Foreclosures and REO's are notorious for having liens. Liens are claims placed on the property for outstanding debts. If you purchase a real estate property, you're also buying any and all liens that may be outstanding. All liens should be recorded in the public records and will should show on a thorough title search. It goes without saying that a thorough title search must be performed on all REO/bank owned properties before purchasing.

Getting a better deal

Banks aren’t within the business of owning homes. They want to get rid of their foreclosures as quickly and effectively as they possibly can. So, by definition, you are managing a reasonably impelled vendor once getting a bank in hand home.

This doesn't mean they'll take "anything" for the property, and they do know what it's worth, but there is often some wiggle-room to be gained in your offer. Don't be afraid to place an offer quite a bit below the asking price, you may be surprised to find your offer accepted. 

The property's condition

Many foreclosed properties are in poor condition. With the previous homeowner losing their home, there's a good chance they didn't care about, or could not afford, to maintain the home state. Additionally, the bank isn't in the business of making repairs and maintenance on their properties, so it is easy to see why this could be the case. A very thorough inspection of the real estate property is imperative with any home purchase, but much more so on real estate properties that are in foreclosure or owned by a bank.
