Featured Topic: REOREO stands for Real Estate Owned and refers to a property that has been returned to a bank or lender in a foreclose proceeding. Banks do not want to see a lot of proprietary disclosures with REOs; they are exempt from the California Seller’s Transfer Disclosure Statement (TDS-14) and if there are real estate agents involved, either representing you or the bank, those agents are required to provide you their disclosure statements. In a REO situation, a bank will typically set the opening bid at a foreclosure auction for at least the outstanding loan amount and, if there are no bidders that are interested, then the bank will legally repossess the property, and as soon as the bank repossess the property, it is listed on their books as REO (Real Estate Owned) and is categorized as an asset (non-performing). This is the optimum time to learn about REO's and cash flow as there will be a large transfer of properties needed to liquidate the bank owned inventory. Agents who have REO listings that don't sell will often see the listing expire and have the listing assigned to another agent. Many novice investors do not consider the quality of the area they are buying in because they are fixated on buying the cheapest house they can find. Lenders are flooded with foreclosures and aggressively slashing prices on REO foreclosed homes. Sometimes an REO listing agent will offer cash for keys to entice the ex homeowner to leave the REO property. An REO investor must take care to properly evaluate the condition of a listing and compare that with the standard of the active, pending and sold comparable homes in the area. Local unemployment stats should be factored in when determining cash flow on an REO property.
