Featured Topic: REOREO listing agents have some degree of influence over the banks asset manager and like to work with investors who have done there research and due diligence. Once you make an offer to purchase a REO, banks generally present a counter-offer that may be at a higher price than you expect, but they have to demonstrate to investors, shareholders and auditors that they attempted to get the highest price possible and you should definitely plan to counter the counter-offer. In a REO situation, a bank will typically set the opening bid at a foreclosure auction for at least the outstanding loan amount and, if there are no bidders that are interested, then the bank will legally repossess the property, and as soon as the bank repossess the property, it is listed on their books as REO (Real Estate Owned) and is categorized as an asset (non-performing). Monthly cash flow attained by purchasing and holding REO's can produce a substantial monthly income. It is important that REO buyers have a realistic idea of what repairs will cost on the houses they offer on. An educated, well researched offer can be profitable in almost any market but especially so in a down market with a glut of REO inventory. If there are REO 20 offers, bear in mind that some of those offers might be all cash. Banks like all cash offers. If you are obtaining financing, then you may need to increase the price on your offer to be considered. Due to high opening bid prices most homes do not sell at the trustee sale and go back to the banks, becoming REOs. It is critical that investors not be discouraged by Real Estate agents who speak negatively about creative REO buying. Many times they are just not familiar with the subject. Many investors make the mistake of guesstimating market rents when trying to determine monthly cashflow on an REO purchase. Fannie Mae uses a state-specific real estate purchase contract and a real estate purchase addendum for their REO properties. If there is anything in the document you don't understand or aren't comfortable with, you may want to contact a real estate attorney, the real estate sales professional who has listed the property, or any real estate professional of your choice to review these documents with you. In addition to your ability to pay for a mortgage on an REO (as indicated by your debts and income), FHA will look at your ability to repay as indicated by your credit report. The bank does not want to sit on its inventory. Since it did not receive its minimum bid from an investor or home buyer during the foreclosure sale at the courthouse, the bank is likely to price that REO home for less, just to get rid of it. Almost any REO Property you look at will have room for improvement. But the more that needs to be done to a home, the less you’re going to have to pay for it. Each lender has its own procedure for the sale of REO homes. So once you have identified a property, check out the procedure of the bank which is selling the REO property. Ask a group of real estate millionaires how they made their money and most will recite some version of this axiom When everyone zigs, you zag. In today’s downward real estate market the axiom simply translates into buying property when most others are not and that’s exactly what REO buyers in Southern California are doing. 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 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. 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. |
