Featured Topic: REOREO's are non performing assets that burden the books of banks as they are not set up to handle real estate. In order to bid at a foreclosure auction, you must have a cashier's check in your hand for the full amount of your bid. Being clear on exit financing allows the REO investor to define their price range and buy the same type of property over and over. 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. REO listing agents are judged by the banks on their ability to find worthy buyers that can close escrow without hassles. A failed escrow is a negative mark on their record. A good REO purchase must be analyzed buy either current market value or long term cash flow ability. Low list price alone does not mean a great deal. Making an offer subject to a partners inspection, lenders approval of financing, contractors estimate of repairs or any other clause meant to provide you with an exit can cost you the deal. A short sale is a purchase made from the bank at less than the full owed amount. Many investors get discouraged with this process as it can take many months for the bank to accept or not get accepted at all. Many REO investors use a mix of handy men and general contractor to complete their repair jobs. Many areas are saturated with cash flow REO investor buyers and it should be noted that this condition can cause market rent to drop. HomePath Mortgage Financing is available on Fannie Mae homes and there is no mortgage insurance. A loan prequalification for an REO purchase doesn't mean your loan is approved. You must apply for a loan separately, after you are prequalified and your purchase offer is accepted. Bank REOs homes are rarely in turnkey condition. Many have been stripped or vandalized, and some are victims of deferred maintenance. FHA buyers might back away from buying the bank REO if the appraisal calls for conditions. While it is true that FHA appraiser guidelines have relaxed since 2006, foreclosed homes that are older may require too many repairs. Appraisers will note missing bathroom toilets and sinks, peeling paint on pre1978 homes, inoperable or missing kitchen appliances such as a stove. One more disadvantage of Bank Owned homes or REO Properties is you will not know about the past of the property, but this can be reduced by doing some research on property in public records. Nearly two million foreclosure filings were recorded during the first half of the year 2009, according to the market research company RealtyTrac which will create a glut of REOs for years to come. Many investors would like to get into the REO market but do not have the time to do the negotiation, repair and rental tasks that are required. A third party REO expert can be a great help in this process and can deliver excellent home for a small fee. REO tip..When inspecting an REO look underneath kitchen and bathroom sinks for evidence of water damage and mold. Extensive damage or mold can mean a costly cabinet replacement and/or mold remediation. Short Sale versus REO: Big difference! If you make an offer on a home that is potentially a short sale, you will work with the seller and the bank, with the bank (or banks) being ultimately the decision maker on your deal. Because of all the unknowns and requirements with foreclosure auctions many people prefer buying an REO. The REO option offers many more benefits and less stress than the foreclosure auction |
