Before submitting an offer on an REO it is prudent to for the investor to be pre qualified and clear about their financing.

REO: this is an acronym for Real Estate Owned, and this used to be called the bank department that managed the properties the bank had reacquired through a foreclosure process after the auction. Under the rules of foreclosure a bank or lender takes control of a property due to the inability of the borrower to make loan payments. Once the foreclosure has been initiated the bank or loan company legally has the right to sell the property regardless of whether the owners have moved out or not. The REO option offers many more benefits and less stress than the foreclosure auction. |
