When a bank takes back a home in foreclosure, it becomes an REO and is assigned to a local agent.

In an REO situation, your offer or counter-offer will probably have to be reviewed and approved by several individuals and companies and even once an offer is accepted, the bank may insert wording like subject to corporate approval with 5 days.

Cash is preferred by the banks on REO offers because the escrow period is shorter. The bank will want to see proof of funds submitted with the offer.

The current REO inventory holds many opportunities to create a monthly cash flow on Southern California rental homes.

Real estate investors are already beginning to abandon their fears and pursue the abundance of wholesale REO's available creating a mini bidding frenzy in some Southern California communities.

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.

Sometimes the bank simply accepts the best REO offer at inception and goes directly into escrow..

Most REOs are vacant without the water or power turned on. It is hard to verify the functionality of plumbing and electrical systems without visual inspection by an expert. This step must be taken when evaluating REO deals.

Many REO buyers agents are not comfortable working with investors. It is important to find an agent that is familiar with investor transactions.

Many California investors who sought monthly cash flow in the last boom market went out of state to slow appreciating markets. Just a few years later there are superb REO buys in Southern California, a market known for sharp periods of appreciation.

HomePath Mortgage financing is available from a variety of lenders both local and national.

FHA would typically require that any outstanding collection accounts, judgments, charge offs be paid off in full before closing your loan but not necessarily before approving your loan on an REO.

If the bank won't budge and you receive an offer rejection, wait another 7 to 30 days and then resubmit your original offer, with the original date crossed off and your new date inserted.

If the bank REO does not appraise for the purchase price and the buyer is obtaining a loan that requires a 20% down payment or less, the buyer's lender will not fund unless the buyer coughs up more cash or the REO lender discounts the price. Cash buyers don't make offers contingent on an appraisal.

Buying an REO is not the same as buying a home through the normal channels.

Buying an REO property is not a simple and straightforward as some imagine. Banks may verbally accept your offer, while trying to find a better offer.

It can be beneficial to track the listing history of and REO. Multiple failed escrows can be a great indicator that a bank is ready to give up the super wholesale deal to get the asset off its books.

REO tip..if you are unclear if a street or neighborhood is rough, you call call the local sheriffs department and ask if they have a high volume of calls to the area.

REO Part II: Banks have departments that must maintain these homes, keep the lights on and keep the taxes paid. Banks cannot legally sell real estate directly to the public, so they enlist the services of a real estate broker to list the home for sale.

The REO option offers many more benefits and less stress than the foreclosure auction. When a bank takes back a property they then have the property listed as a salable asset on their books. The role of a bank is to maximize the wealth for it's shareholders.
