Featured Topic: REOIt is common for a few veteran and experienced agents to control a majority of REO listings in an area. Foreclosure sales begin with a minimum bid that includes the loan balance, any accrued interest, plus attorney's fees and any costs association with the foreclosure process. In a competitive multiple bid process for an REO home, cash gives the investor and advantage over conventional and FHA financing. Many of Americas millionaires attained financial freedom by collecting cash flow properties and REO's are currently our most abundant source of wholesale deals. The majority of recent closed sales in Southern California are REO wholesale purchases. Even professional appraisers are struggling with determining property values as the REO inventory levels are skewing the current sales data. A copy of a check for one thousand dollars is usually submitted as a deposit with most REO offers. The offer typically states that the check will be placed into escrow within 48 hours of acceptance. Many homeowners are very angered by the foreclosure process and cause physical damage to the REO property prior to leaving. Some areas to pay attention to when inspecting an REO for water damage are around the bathrooms, water heater, solar equipment, water softening equipment, attic spaces and under the kitchen sink. Many investors make the mistake of guesstimating market rents when trying to determine monthly cashflow on an REO purchase. You should also consider hiring a qualified professional to inspect an REO property, whether it has been repaired or not. Hiring a home inspector is a recommended practice, no matter what type of home you buy. In addition to your ability to pay for a mortgage on an REO (as indicated by your debts and income), FHA will look at your ability to repay as indicated by your credit report. Banks negotiate bulk-rate discounts with title and escrow companies. If you elect to use the bank's title escrow company, check the fees those companies will charge you. Generally, fees not paid by the bank but paid by the buyer will be higher because title and escrow often make up those discounts by charging buyers more. Banks may require a cash REO buyer to show proof of funds. This rules out obtaining a refinance on a residence unless the money is already in the bank. The bank wants to recover as much money as they can on an REO, and will try to sell close to market value in many cases. When you make a REO purchase offer, the bank will almost certainly respond with an counter-offer. this is just to show their auditors that they had done everything possible to get the best price, so you should always negotiate REO's to get the best price In a down market loaded with opportunity, investors should focus on having a successful first project not buying the cheapest house. A good first experience will lead to multiple purchases and ultimately wealth when the up cycle occurs. REO tip..When inspecting an REO look underneath kitchen and bathroom sinks for evidence of water damage and mold. Extensive damage or mold can mean a costly cabinet replacement and/or mold remediation. REO Part II: Banks have departments that must maintain these homes, keep the lights on and keep the taxes paid. Banks cannot legally sell real estate directly to the public, so they enlist the services of a real estate broker to list the home for sale. Real estate brokers in turn with the REO manager within the bank to negotiate through an offer. Because of all the unknowns and requirements with foreclosure auctions many people prefer buying an REO. |
