Featured Topic: REOREO agents need to submit an offer along with a buyer package that may include deposit and proof of funds to the bank. 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. In a competitive multiple bid process for an REO home, cash gives the investor and advantage over conventional and FHA financing. Positve cash flow is attained when the monthly collected rent minus expense exceeds the mortgage payment. In experienced REO buyers that can not follow through on their offers, make many agents leery of working with investors. Buying cheap cash flow REO's in bad areas will mean lower rents, higher tenant turn over and increased property management hassles for the hold investor. In many cases, the list price of an REOhas little bearing on the value of the home. The market value carries the most weight. If you are up against competing offers, other buyers will offer more than list price. Due to high opening bid prices most homes do not sell at the trustee sale and go back to the banks, becoming REOs. Repeat vandalism may cause a bank to lower price on an REO listing. It also may be a caution to the investor about the neighborhood. 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. Home Path Renovation Mortgage Financing is special financing on Fannie Mae homes an offers low down payment and flexible mortgage terms, fixed-rate or adjustable-rate. Some REO listing agents are so busy that they hire assistants to field calls. Many do not give out their private cell phone number, which can make communication difficult. Many prefer to use email. 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. Buyers with all cash are REO lenders' favorite purchasers. A list-price all-cash offer will beat out a conventional offer, even if the conventional offer is above list price. If the listing's conditions state "cash buyers only," it is unlikely the bank will consider an offer from any buyer who is relying on financing. The REO offer process in many ways is less complicated, there is little to no emotion on the part of the seller the REO lender, and deals can be completed much more quickly. While REO investors are underbidding on many foreclosure properties, Christopher Thornberg, a principal at Beacon Economics in Los Angeles, said that interest is coming from “vulture funds” with millions of dollars to spend on distress sales. Thornberg said Wall Street vulture funds are amassing war chests in preparation for a new cycle of opportunities in loans or bonds of struggling financial companies or homebuilders. Being a slumlord can be costly in a market where local municipalities are looking to impose maximum fines on landlords to generate income. This should be considered when making an REO purchase for hold and rent. REO tip...REO homes usually have no water service on, you may want to look up in the attic for any broken pipes or mold damage and check the interior walls and ceiling structures for water damage. An REO property allows you to gain access to the property for an inspection. Lenders have a responsibility to their shareholders and they lose money on non-producing assets. Because of all the unknowns and requirements with foreclosure auctions many people prefer buying an REO. |
