Featured Topic: REOMany investors prefer buying REO inventory to auction purchases as the auction process cant require much time and effort with no result. 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. FHA financing is available for REO homes but generally will require the property to be in decent condition. Many investors choose to use property managements and home warranties on their REO rental homes to minimize their time commitment. REO buyers must prove themselves to be dependable and trustworthy to REO listing agents to gain an inside advantage and develop a long term business relationship. Many REO investors are currently buying bad deals by basing their offers solely on the fact that the house looks cheap. This creates bad experiences that stop them from continuing their investing careers. 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. It is common to see holes beat into the drywall of REO homes.

Usually, when you buy a home, you deal with a seller who lives in the home. Fannie Mae has acquired their properties through foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or forfeiture. You do not have to use Fannie Mae's selected title, settlement, or escrow companies on an REO purchase. You may designate the title, settlement, or escrow company of your choice, subject to the terms of the contract. If the bank won't budge and you receive an offer rejection, wait another 7 to 30 days and then resubmit your original offer, with the original date crossed off and your new date inserted. The margin can be low in REO's, but the risks are also low. And they take less of your time, if you just keep your ear to the ground for the right combination of events to converge. If you need a loan get your loan application not only pre-approval or pre-qualified but underwritten also. Many REO buyers select an area that they like, drive the streets and collect agent and property details off of the signs. In this regard they are able to touch and feel an area in a way that can't be done over the computer. It is important to consider quality when buying an REO in this market. A quality home in a quality area in good condition will produce a higher quality renter and improve vacancy rates, cash flow and appreciation over time. This may be more costly initially and take more work to find but will pay dividends at the end of the cycle. REO: this is an acronym for Real Estate Owned, and this used to be called the bank department that managed the properties the bank had reacquired through a foreclosure process after the auction. An REO is the simplest way to purchase property. To avoid paying more than you intended, carefully research the area and home prices, as well as possible repair costs to find out if a REO home is right for you. |
