Featured Topic: REOLenders are selling off their Southern California foreclosures at deeply discounted prices making this a profitable time for real estate investors. Most banks will not provide financing on their REOs but it doesn’t hurt to ask - especially if the property has extensive damage and you are purchasing it as is. Many times homeowners get in over their heads when it comes to purchasing a new home. If they have taken out a loan from the bank and are unable to make their payments their home will be turned over to the bank. From there the bank will place the property on the market for auction or sell. These types of properties immediately become REO Properties and are generally a steal to catch. Buying renting and holding a Southern California REO rental home can create a monthly cash flow and future equity appreciation as we are in a historically low period in the real estate market. It is critical for REO buyers to communicate competence, integrity and ability to close escrow to the listing REO agent. REO investors must develop a method of appraising current market value and after repaired value on the homes they offer on. 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. Many REO homes get broken into and as a result need their windows replaced. This is a huge problem for the banks and accelerates the need to liquidate. Many REOs are secured by an electronic SUPRA box and cannot be accessed by a number code. An investor must have interior access to a home to make a repair estimate. Discussing cash flow numbers and formulas with you CPA or real estate lawyer is a good idea to fully understand the long term tax implications of a buy, rent and hold REO deal. Even if an REO has fresh paint, brand new carpet, new appliances, perhaps even a new roof or siding, it doesn't mean everything in the house is new, or even works. If an REO buyer has a Federal Tax Lien that is in a repayment agreement, you do not have to pay it off in full but you must be able to qualify with the monthly payment of the repayment agreement. State Tax Liens typically must be paid in full prior to closing your FHA loan on an REO. You will have greater negotiating power if you make offers on homes that have been on the market for longer than 30 days. A faster cash closing puts money into the REO lender's pocket sooner. There are also fewer things that can go wrong in a short escrow period. When a Property is sold through a foreclosure auction, do not draw any bidders & does not end in sale goes back to financial institution holding the Property.

The home must be sold as primary residence for at least $25,000 in the 48 contiguous states or Washington, D.C. The warranty and closing cost opportunities are not available on HomeSteps homes sold as investor properties, second homes, or vacation homes. Many of the successful REO buyers are leveraging relationships with REO listing agents and buying inventory that is not on the MLS. REO tip..when inspecting an REO take the time to look over the back walls. There can be some surprises such as mobile home park, apartment buildings, or busy street that could have an adverse effect on value. If the house does not sell in the auction, it reverts back to the bank. The lender now has the right to sell the property as an REO (real estate owned), the third and final phase of a foreclosure.
