Veterans of America Foreclosure

Posts: 1 Newbie
My girlfriend and I are looking at a house that is currently foreclosed with Veterans of America. The house is listed as 147,000. I know someone who was going to buy the house and VA was firm on their price. Is anyone familiar with Veterans of America and their pricing structure for foreclosed homes? I understand that they would not want to lose money on the foreclosure, but i know they would also like to sell it. What would be realistic price wise?
House description:
4 bedrooms/2 baths
1900 sq/ft with 2 car garage
fenced yard with patio
built in 2008
nice neighborhood
Thank you for your help.

Isn't there a halt on foreclosures in america? Forgive me for not knowing the full details but there is a serious problem whereby those who have bought foreclosed properties may not actually OWN them.
I would steer away from america based on this information alone.

OP looks like he is well into playing in the role of an American, so it may not be appropriate to discourage him from buying property there. See below:.... nice neighborhood
Selms, you are very welcome here, but please understand that most of us are well into playing in the role of British people, which involves almost total ignorance about the American property market and idiosyncratic non standard spellings of American words - eg we write neighbourhood.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -
OP, do you live in America, or are you a Brit looking to move over there? This is a British-based forum so you may not get the info you need.
If you are based in the UK, before buying any property you need to consider whether you would get a visa to live and work in the USA - which is very difficult. Also bear in mind any credit history you have in the UK does not transfer to the US, so you may not even be able to get a mortgage over there for 2 or more years.
If you are already in the US, are you working with a realtor? If so, they should be able to give you guidance on buying a foreclosure.0
