Featured Topic: REOThe prices on current REO inventory are well below building cost and make incredible buy and rent opportunities. In an REO, the bank now owns the property and the mortgage loan no longer exists. In a competitive multiple bid process for an REO home, cash gives the investor and advantage over conventional and FHA financing. Investors who purchased REO's during the down turn of the early 1990's realized huge cashflow and equity gains. REO listing agents are often skeptical of an investor that has taken a weekend seminar and makes uneducated offers. Many REO investors rely on the opinions of inexperienced buyers agents to formulate their offers. These agents are often desperate to make a sale and do not understand market value or cash flow analysis. If an REO is HUD or VA owned, the offer will need to be on special forms. The agent representing you will have the original forms that your need. A property that is still in foreclosure does not yet belong to the bank and the homeowner must be engaged. An REO purchase does not involve the homeowner. Home prices are at their most affordable in many years, which has opened up home ownership to many who had been locked out during the housing boom. And now, the federal government and many states are launching plans to hook up buyers of REO homes with very attractive terms. It is important to understand the standard amenities of homes in an area before determining rehab costs on a cash flow rental home. Fannie Mae does not warrant or guarantee any work that may have been done on an REO property, whether as part of its efforts to sell the home or pursuant to conditions in the purchase contract REO buyers, don't rule yourself out of qualifying for FHA loan to buy a home or refinance your existing mortgage because of credit issues until a mortgage professional has reviewed your credit. If you ask your buyer's agent to search MLS for REOs, you will probably find that a very small handful of real estate agents specialize in listing REOs for sale in your neighborhood. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have announced that they will implement a revised Home Valuation Code of Conduct effective May 1, 2009. This will have an effect on REO purchases made with loans. You should check market prices for homes in your region and calculate the cost and repair time, before deciding that an REO property is a good deal. In a market with so much inventory it is important to select an REO by area, condition and characteristics. This will be a desirable and marketable home when the market recovers. If you get your REO bid accepted, move quickly to get your docs signed and counter signed as the bank will still entertain offers until you are in escrow. REO tip...REO homes usually have no electrical service on, you should check the panel and make sure that the wires are attatched and that the power meter is still there. A common misconception is that foreclosures and REOs are the same. Although they are similar they are in fact different with the REO being the direct result of a foreclosure option sale. We expect REO activity to spike in the coming months as foreclosure delays and moratoria implemented by various state laws come to an end |
