Featured Topic: REOWhen a bank takes back a home in foreclosure, it becomes an REO and is assigned to a local agent. REO offers are usually FAXED to the bank because the listing agent needs your originals and there is no formal presentation so keep in mind nothing happens evenings and weekends because banks are closed. Many investors use a private hard money lender to finance their cash flow REO purchases. Although speculative investing is blamed for many of the current economic problems, knowlegeable investors will ultimately end up being a large part of the the solution and help liquidate the bank owned inventory. Agents who have REO listings that don't sell will often see the listing expire and have the listing assigned to another agent. Many novice investors do not consider the quality of the area they are buying in because they are fixated on buying the cheapest house they can find. When buying REOs from a lender the investor must submit their offers on standard realtor forms. The banks do not like to see custom investor looking contracts. 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 REO investors use a mix of handy men and general contractor to complete their repair jobs. Many factors must be taken into account when determining market rent in a declining economy. Home Path Renovation Mortgage Financing is special financing on Fannie Mae homes an offers financing to fund both your purchase and light renovation. FHA will look mostly at the last two years of your credit history of REO buyers. If there are some credit issues, we may be able to overcome them with sufficient explanations and supporting documents of why the issues occurred. Following is some the the reasons FHA will accept: Loss of Job, Job Transfer or Serious Illness. To attract buyer's agents, many banks offer a larger percentage of the commission to the buyer's agent while discounting the REO listing 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. 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. Ask a group of real estate millionaires how they made their money and most will recite some version of this axiom When everyone zigs, you zag. In today’s downward real estate market the axiom simply translates into buying property when most others are not and that’s exactly what REO buyers in Southern California are doing. If you get your REO bid accepted, move quickly to get your docs signed and counter signed as the bank will still entertain offers until you are in escrow. REO tip...REO homes usually have no electrical service on, you should check the panel and make sure that the wires are attatched and that the power meter is still there. REO Part II: Banks have departments that must maintain these homes, keep the lights on and keep the taxes paid. Banks cannot legally sell real estate directly to the public, so they enlist the services of a real estate broker to list the home for sale. The REO option offers many more benefits and less stress than the foreclosure auction. |
