According to foreclosureuniversity.com, "a short sale is when a lender accepts a discount on a mortgage to avoid a possible foreclosure auction or bankruptcy. Instead of buying from a seller, you are purchasing the property directly from the lender for a discount.

If a foreclosed property is not purchased at auction, it is typically bought back by the lender. Although the lender is often a bank (the reason why REOs are frequently called "bank foreclosures"), credit unions, mortgage companies and other financial organizations can also lend money to purchase properties -- and foreclose on them if they need to. Since banks and other lenders aren't in the business of being landlords, … http://www.buyingflorida.com//blog/detail/8392 www.buyingflorida.com//blog/detail/8392 Fri, 21 Aug 2009 00:00:00 GMT Markets got you down?

Because the original owner of a foreclosure has walked away from the property it is quite likely that he has taken everything moveable with him.
