Real estate owned or REO is a class of property owned by a lender, typically a bank, after an unsuccessful sale at a foreclosure auction. A number of positive cash flow REO rentals in the Southern California market can create a passive monthly income suitable for ones retirement. Most offers made on REO properties that contain the phrase and or assigns will not be considered by the bank or the REO listing agent.

If other buyers ask for 17 days on an REO, for example, to conduct inspections, and you ask for 10, you will be deemed the more serious buyer.

REO listing agents make money by either selling a lot of REOs or operating as a dual agent. Under dual agency, the REO listing agent will earn both the listing commission and the buyer's agent's commission. If the bank REO does not appraise for the purchase price and the buyer is obtaining a loan that requires a 20% down payment or less, the buyer's lender will not fund unless the buyer coughs up more cash or the REO lender discounts the price. Cash buyers don't make offers contingent on an appraisal. HUD does not warrant the condition of its REO properties, but will give you the information it has about the condition of the property you’re interested in.

Many municipalities are fighting the subprime blight in their communities by levying heavy code enforcement fines at REO buyers. 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. A common misconception is that foreclosures and REOs are the same. 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. The role of a bank is to maximize the wealth for it's shareholders. |
