Arizona foreclosures can be bought at a few places during the foreclosure process. How you can buy them changes depending on where the properties are in the foreclosure process – first as a short sale, then at the foreclosure auction, and finally as a bank-owned, REO listing in the MLS.
If a bank-owned home is bought by a flipper, it will come back on the market pretty quickly and some people will call that flipped listing a foreclosure, as well.
