Featured Topic: REOIf you establish a relationship with an REO listing agent who controls inventory you must be ready to close escrow quickly to establish yourself with that agent. Most foreclosure auctions do not result in bids because, if there was enough equity in the property to satisfy the loan, the owner would have probably sold the property and paid off the bank. FHA financing is available for REO homes but generally will require the property to be in decent condition. The current REO inventory holds many opportunities to create a monthly cash flow on Southern California rental homes. REO listing agents are judged by the banks on their ability to find worthy buyers that can close escrow without hassles. A failed escrow is a negative mark on their record. It is best that an REO investor understand a smaller slice of territory very well than have a vague understanding of a larger area. Most REO agents work for one or two banks. Some listing agents are exclusive listing agents for REOs, and they do not list any other type of property. Since REO agents deal in volume, they typically apply the same pricing principles to all their REO listings. A short sale is a purchase made from the bank at less than the full owed amount.

Following is some the the reasons FHA will accept: Loss of Job, Job Transfer or Serious Illness. Most REO listing agents list only REOs and no other type of property. Buyers with all cash are REO lenders' favorite purchasers. A list-price all-cash offer will beat out a conventional offer, even if the conventional offer is above list price. If the listing's conditions state "cash buyers only," it is unlikely the bank will consider an offer from any buyer who is relying on financing. Usually the Bank won’t accept an offer directly from you. Banks accept offers only from a real estate agent or broker.

A good first experience will lead to multiple purchases and ultimately wealth when the up cycle occurs. REO tip..although it may seem basic, be sure your subject property has a cooling an heating system. These can get removed at times and if overlooked could cost you thousands. Look for a furnace in the garage or in a closet in the house and a AC or swamp unit on the roof or on the property grounds close to the house. There are three phases of a foreclosure; pre-foreclosure/short sale, auction, and REO (real estate owned) Once the foreclosure has been initiated the bank or loan company legally has the right to sell the property regardless of whether the owners have moved out or not. The foreclosure auction is different than an REO property. |
