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. Banks do not want to see a lot of proprietary disclosures with REOs; they are exempt from the California Seller’s Transfer Disclosure Statement (TDS-14) and if there are real estate agents involved, either representing you or the bank, those agents are required to provide you their disclosure statements. FHA regulations concerning the condition of a property have changed dramatically over the past three years making it easier for investors to obtain financing on an REO. Positve cash flow is attained when the monthly collected rent minus expense exceeds the mortgage payment. It is best to eliminate most contingencies on offers made on REO purchases. Many REO investors rely on the opinions of inexperienced buyers agents to formulate their offers. These agents are often desperate to make a sale and do not understand market value or cash flow analysis. A copy of a check for one thousand dollars is usually submitted as a deposit with most REO offers. The offer typically states that the check will be placed into escrow within 48 hours of acceptance. Most successful trustee sale buyers are very experienced and have advanced research techniques. Many investors find the REO market to be a much safer environment. When creating an REO buying team it is important to have some type of contractor resources to assist with estimating repair costs. Many areas are saturated with cash flow REO investor buyers and it should be noted that this condition can cause market rent to drop. HomePath Mortgage Financing is available on Fannie Mae homes and there is no mortgage insurance. 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. REO properties have properly changed hands. All liens against the property have been addressed. Back taxes have been paid. And the title is clear. In some cases, the bank may have done necessary repairs already. As rigid as REO properties or HUD homes may seem, the REO process is as much as part of foreclosures as the preforeclosure side of the business. When you make a REO purchase offer, the bank will almost certainly respond with an counter-offer. this is just to show their auditors that they had done everything possible to get the best price, so you should always negotiate REO's to get the best price While you may get outbid on a new piece of REO inventory by a first timer, it can be beneficial to evaluate and track the house. If and when it falls out of escrow, you will be poised to make a quick offer and the bank will be in more of a wholesale mood as time goes along. The current REO market in southern California has shown a recent drop in inventory and that has created a price increase. Buying a bank-owned or REO property may take an equal amount of time and angst, but the property will be vacant and easier to inspect. In fact, some banks will put a little money into prepping the home for a better sale for them: paint, handyman work, landscaping, etc. Homes are sold without guarantee because the bank has never lived in the home and is selling as-is. Other ways to buy foreclosures are to buy at a public auction or buying bank owned or REO properties. These properties are often priced for less than what is owed on them because the bank does not want to hang on to a bunch of properties. |
