Featured Topic: REOThe time required to purchase an REO is generally much shorter than a short sale as REO's will already have a list price that the bank has agreed to. Before making an offer on a REO, have your agent contact the the listing agent and ask the following questions: (1) Are there any inspection reports, (2) What work has the bank agreed to, (3) Is there a special "as is" form, (4) How long does it take the bank to accept an offer, and (5) How does your agent deliver the offer? 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). The current REO inventory holds many opportunities to create a monthly cash flow on Southern California rental homes.

Many areas are saturated with cash flow REO investor buyers and it should be noted that this condition can cause market rent to drop. Fannie Mae sells each REO property as is, which means that the buyer accepts the property "as is." Fannie Mae is not responsible for fixing any problems after settlement. REO buyers should be aware of the following FHA loan qualification guideline: Credit report should typically have less than two thirty day lates in last two years with a minimum credit score of 580 or higher or no credit score at all. Many banks are moving away from paying typical closing costs for the buyer on REO. Some fees such as transfer taxes, county and state fees, are borne by the buyer and not the bank. Banks do not often pay for pest reports, repairs or home warranty plans. 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.

REO tip...When comparing recent sales to your subject property, be sure to make adjustments for differences in square footage.

However, in these times, the price you pay can more than offset the cost of restoring the house to its former glory. |
