Featured Topic: REOMany investors prefer buying REO inventory to auction purchases as the auction process cant require much time and effort with no result. If you are considering buying an REO, make sure that the price you pay is comparable to other homes in the neighborhood. FHA regulations concerning the condition of a property have changed dramatically over the past three years making it easier for investors to obtain financing on an REO. Buying, renting and holding REO properties now will create a number of options for the investor in the years to come. In experienced REO buyers that can not follow through on their offers, make many agents leery of working with investors. 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. Sometimes the bank simply accepts the best REO offer at inception and goes directly into escrow.. When a home goes back to the lender in a foreclosure, it gets assigned to an agent who then will need time to clean up, secure and prepare the home for sale. REO investors must visually inspect houses for the structural integrity of major components such as the foundation, roof, walls, plumbing and electrical. The bank will not take responsibility for the investors mistakes. Giving the current state of our economy, factoring a decline in rents over the next few years is a good idea when calculating cash flow. If Fannie Mae knows of any hazards on REO properties they own or market, they disclose this information through their real estate listing agents. However, they may not have been informed by the previous owner of all hazards. They encourage you to have the property inspected by a professional before you buy. There are some credit issues that REO must allow for a certain time to pass before you can qualify for a FHA loan. They are follows: Two years from the date of discharge for a Bankruptcy and Three years from the date of Foreclosure. The bank does not want to sit on its inventory. Since it did not receive its minimum bid from an investor or home buyer during the foreclosure sale at the courthouse, the bank is likely to price that REO home for less, just to get rid of it. FHA requires satisfaction of appraisal conditions prior to closing. Yet, REO banks typically will not authorize repairs prior to closing. Then, toss into the mix that bank repo buyers rarely want to pay for repairs before they own the home. When a Property is sold through a foreclosure auction, do not draw any bidders & does not end in sale goes back to financial institution holding the Property. This type of property is often called as REO property or Bank Owned Homes. While REO investors are underbidding on many foreclosure properties, Christopher Thornberg, a principal at Beacon Economics in Los Angeles, said that interest is coming from “vulture funds” with millions of dollars to spend on distress sales. Thornberg said Wall Street vulture funds are amassing war chests in preparation for a new cycle of opportunities in loans or bonds of struggling financial companies or homebuilders. 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.

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.
