Featured Topic: REOMany investors prefer buying REO inventory to auction purchases as the auction process cant require much time and effort with no result. Most foreclosure auctions do not result in bids because, if there was enough equity in the property to satisfy the loan, the owner would have probably sold the property and paid off the bank. Fannie Mae guidelines allow investors to buy up to 10 investment properties. This is an excellent opportunity to build a portfolio of cash flow REO houses. Many investors make the mistake of waiting for the television to tell them that the bottom of the real estate market is here while the REO market is providing cash flow opportunities right now. An asset manager is the internal position within an REO department that allots the listings to local agents. They are judged on their ability to find agents that can quickly sell the inventory at the highest price. Lenders for incoming home buyers are forcing appraisals downward based on the sales data created by REO home sales, which are often in poor condition and not reflective of market value. Putting and or assignee on a REO purchase contract shows a weak buyer and makes the bank think the buyer isn't sure where their funds are coming from. Many of the poor condition and damage issues associated with REO homes is due to the homeower taking out their anger on the property. 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. Giving the current state of our economy, factoring a decline in rents over the next few years is a good idea when calculating cash flow.

REO tip..although it may seem basic, be sure your subject property has a cooling an heating system. These can get removed at times and if overlooked could cost you thousands. Look for a furnace in the garage or in a closet in the house and a AC or swamp unit on the roof or on the property grounds close to the house. 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. 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.
