Foreclosure appliances. Either a blessing or a curse. If the appliances are in good condition and up-to-date, then it's free marketing. But, if the appliances are in mediocre or bad condition and/or out-of-date, they need to go. So, what do you do with foreclosure appliances? How do you best deal with them to get the property back on the path to a successful rehabilitation? Well, you do have a few options available.

What Not to Do with Foreclosure Appliances

Before we go any further, let's take a quick look at what not to do with foreclosure appliances. First, don't just put them out on the curb because the local trash collection agency won't pick them up. They'll stay there, day after day and probably trigger a code violation. And, that's not something you want to invite. Also, don't attempt the whole illegal dumping route because it's too risky.

The most important thing to understand before jumping into the foreclosure market is that these properties were given up by owners who couldn’t afford the payments anymore. In these cases, the house is often poorly maintained – after all, if the owner can’t make the payments, he or she is likely falling behind on paying for regular upkeep as well. In addition, some people who are forced into foreclosure are embittered by their situations and take out their frustrations on their home before the bank repossesses. This often involves removing appliances and fixtures… --Investopedia.com

Of course, if those foreclosure appliances aren't in good, working condition, you certainly can't leave them in the house. They'll act as repellents to anyone who see them. After all, anything that's unsightly is just plain bad. So, you have to do something with those foreclosure appliances that's more constructive.

When you buy a foreclosure, you do so to get a property at a discounted price. Now, you'll incur some expenses. Here are a few helpful foreclosure appliance disposal options you can try out:

  • Sell them. If the appliances are still in working condition but look a bit outdated, you can sell them. Try to sell them directly or take it to a consignment store or to an appliance resale store.
  • Donate them. Another option is to donate the appliances to a local charity, such as a church, shelter, or even to a nearby school. If you can donate them, you get rid of them, plus get a small tax write off.
  • Fix and repair them. Of course, if they are in relatively good condition but need a little fine tuning, you can opt to fix and repair them for continued use.
  • Keep them for emergencies. Yet another option is to store them away and keep them for an emergency situation. This way, you'll have a temporary fix until you can make a permanent replacement.
