Featured Topic: REOInvestors who are able to buy, rent and cash flow with REO homes now will realize a great passive income in the future. In a foreclosure situation, the amount owed to the bank is almost always more than what the property is worth, very few foreclosure auctions result in a successful sale and the property instead reverts to the bank, thus becoming an REO, or Real Estate Owned property. Investors who are not clear on their exit financing are much slower to decide on their offer numbers and get beat out by more experienced buyers. 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. REO listings are currently receiving multiple offers and being bid up above list price 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. The only time the deposit check is cashed in an REO offer is when the offer has been accepted. It typically takes about 30 days for an REO to be prepared for sale by the REO listing agent. In some cases they must evict the homeowner through the court system. 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. When calculating monthly cash flow be sure to include tax, insurance, management, municipal fees and vacancy costs. 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. REO buyers, don't rule yourself out of qualifying for FHA loan to buy a home or refinance your existing mortgage because of credit issues until a mortgage professional has reviewed your credit. Many banks are moving away from paying typical closing costs for the buyer on REO. Some fees such as transfer taxes, county and state fees, are borne by the buyer and not the bank. Banks do not often pay for pest reports, repairs or home warranty plans. Buy an REO when the bank finally relents and lowers the price. And don't just wait for this to happen. Make your own luck. Find the right buyer, know when the lender is going to lose patience, and show up with the right offer at the right time. Buying an REO is not the same as buying a home through the normal channels. In their efforts to create a bidding frenzy, many REO agents will claim that they have 10, 15, 20 or more offers on a REO house when in reality their are only a few offers that the banks would consider. Don't be discouraged by this kind of talk and submit your educated offer. In search of a cheap hold REO, many buyers overlook the realities of the neighborhood which can really be costly when trying to rent. Renters have many choices these days and a rough area will require lower rents. REO inspection tip..when inspecting houses from the outside, look up underneath roof overhangs and check for hornets nests before you lean it to look through the windows. 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. When a bank takes back a property they then have the property listed as a salable asset on their books. |
