Buying an REO with Conventional Loan

[Keith R Henry]

So I would like to buy an REO foreclosure and have a convential loan. The house must be liveable to qualify for the loan. It will at least need finish floors and kitchen appliances. The only way I can think of to make this work is install cheap sheet flooring throughout the house and put the kitchen appliances in. Of course I would rather not do this with a house I do not own. Anyone know of another way around this or how to find another type of loan that wont beat me up on interest?

Thank you
