Featured Topic: REO


In general REO contracts are not assignable so the investor must have a means to fund the transaction.

In the area of REOs, each bank and lender works differently, but all have similar goals - to get the best price possible and have no interest in dumping the real estate as cheaply as possible by using what is sometime an entire department at a bank that is set up to manage REO inventory.

Being clear on exit financing allows the REO investor to define their price range and buy the same type of property over and over.

Buying, renting and holding REO properties now will create a number of options for the investor in the years to come.

REO agents must follow up diligently on offers made in their buyers behalf as many properties have a stack of offers submitted.

Many of the currently low priced REO's that look good on paper are in fact non conforming and have many bad features such as undesirable configurations, small square footage, border noisy streets or have bad add ons.

When buying REOs from a lender the investor must submit their offers on standard realtor forms. The banks do not like to see custom investor looking contracts.

REO VS SHORT SALE. A investor who has a short sale agreement with home owner has no competition but must convince the bank of the homes value. An REO investor must compete with other buyers who may have different perceptions of the properties worth.

Many vacant REOs are subject to code enforcement citations by the local municipality creating an even larger potential liability for the bank that owns the property.

When calculating monthly cash flow be sure to include tax, insurance, management, municipal fees and vacancy costs.

Fannie Mae does not warrant or guarantee any work that may have been done on an REO property, whether as part of its efforts to sell the home or pursuant to conditions in the purchase contract

Fannie Mae wants to be sure that prospective REO buyers will be able to complete the sales transaction, including obtaining financing when needed. Pre qualification allows you to see how much house you can afford and the mortgage amount you may be able to qualify for before you make an offer on a home. It also helps you focus on homes in an affordable price range.

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.

A faster cash closing puts money into the REO lender's pocket sooner. There are also fewer things that can go wrong in a short escrow period.

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.

The competition and short time on the market before and REO goes pending has many REO buyers feeling discouraged. But many of these escrows will not close and the REO house will be back on the market.

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 take the time to look over the back walls. There can be some surprises such as mobile home park, apartment buildings, or busy street that could have an adverse effect on value.

Real estate brokers in turn with the REO manager within the bank to negotiate through an offer.

REOs are properties that the lender has failed to sell at auction. At this point, since the home has gone back to the lender, the mortgage no longer exists.
