Most banks will not provide financing on their REOs but it doesn’t hurt to ask - especially if the property has extensive damage and you are purchasing it as is. Conventional financing is available for REO properties but will require a substantial down payment, good fico score and documented income. Monthly cash flow attained by purchasing and holding REO's can produce a substantial monthly income. REO agents must follow up diligently on offers made in their buyers behalf as many properties have a stack of offers submitted. Many REO investors are sitting on their hands waiting to see how government legislation will effect REO inventory in the coming months before they make any offers. The only time the deposit check is cashed in an REO offer is when the offer has been accepted. Because they are vacant, many REO homes get vandalized and sustain damage. It is important that REO investors look for water damage and the evidence of mold as the water service may not be on and leaks can not be easily evaluated.

Buying an REO property is not a simple and straightforward as some imagine. Banks may verbally accept your offer, while trying to find a better offer. It is important to consider quality when buying an REO in this market. A quality home in a quality area in good condition will produce a higher quality renter and improve vacancy rates, cash flow and appreciation over time. This may be more costly initially and take more work to find but will pay dividends at the end of the cycle. REO: this is an acronym for Real Estate Owned, and this used to be called the bank department that managed the properties the bank had reacquired through a foreclosure process. The process starts with the notice of default filed and, in California, ends with a trustee's sale back to the lender (if no one else buys the property on the county courthouse steps). What are the benefits of buying an REO property that has been foreclosed on and what are the reasons they failed to find a buyer? Under the rules of foreclosure a bank or lender takes control of a property due to the inability of the borrower to make loan payments. We expect REO activity to spike in the coming months as foreclosure delays and moratoria implemented by various state laws come to an end |
