BPO=Broker Price Opinion, same effect as a market analysis done by a REALTOR usually for a lender when a seller is upside down. Cost is minimal  compared to a full appraisal.

CASH FOR KEYS=Payment by the lender to a tenant to vacate a foreclosed property.

DEED IN LIEU OF FORECLOSURE = Usually when a lender is in agreement  to accept a deed directly from the borrower avoiding a foreclosure.

FLIPPER/FLIPPING=Normally a seller who acquired the property at a very low price, often a foreclosure for the purpose of a quick re-sale at a profit.

REO=A term used most often by lenders and people in real estate, stands for  REAL ESTATE OWNED, a label, a way of identifying property on the books for lenders. I.e. a bank repo/foreclosure.

SHORT SALE =Seller is who upside down, owning more than current property value.
