Featured Topic: REOIn general REO contracts are not assignable so the investor must have a means to fund the transaction. 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. FNMA is offering special financing on their REO inventory properties. The benefits of Fannie Mae Home Path Special financing include low down payment and flexible mortgage terms. Monthly cash flow attained by purchasing and holding REO's can produce a substantial monthly income. It is important that REO buyers agents be highly available, aggressive and personable in order to develop relationships with REO listing agents. 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. 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. A short sale is a purchase made from the bank at less than the full owed amount. Many investors get discouraged with this process as it can take many months for the bank to accept or not get accepted at all. REOs with swimming pools typically have empty or half empty pools that will require repair to the plaster, tile, electrical and pump equipment. This along with a smaller buyer group, increased liability in a hold situation and higher insurance will keep many investors from bidding on pool homes Savvy investors take care to preselect good neigborhoods, location and configurations that would be desirable for family living when looking for REO cashflow opportunities. If Fannie Mae knows of any hazards on REO properties they own or market, they disclose this information through their real estate listing agents. However, they may not have been informed by the previous owner of all hazards. They encourage you to have the property inspected by a professional before you buy. 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. Hire a buyer's agent who has experience working with REOs. FHA requires satisfaction of appraisal conditions prior to closing. Yet, REO banks typically will not authorize repairs prior to closing. Then, toss into the mix that bank repo buyers rarely want to pay for repairs before they own the home. You should check market prices for homes in your region and calculate the cost and repair time, before deciding that an REO property is a good deal. 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 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 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. Real estate brokers in turn with the REO manager within the bank to negotiate through an offer. REOs aren't for everybody; they have as many problems and issues as other homes, sometimes more. However, in these times, the price you pay can more than offset the cost of restoring the house to its former glory. |
