Featured Topic: REOREO stands for Real Estate Owned and refers to a property that has been returned to a bank or lender in a foreclose proceeding. In an REO situation, tha bank will usually negotiate with the IRS for removal of tax liens and pay off any homeowner association dues. An REO can be financed through a number of methods including cash, hard money, conventional and FHA. Many factors are often overlooked by investors when calculating positive cash flow on an REO rental property such as repairs, maintenance, taxes, insurance, municipal fees, vacancy and a host of other potential fees and costs. REO listing agents are judged by the banks on their ability to find worthy buyers that can close escrow without hassles. A failed escrow is a negative mark on their record. It is best that an REO investor understand a smaller slice of territory very well than have a vague understanding of a larger area.

A novice agent who is eager to succeed can be trained by a savvy investor to work in the REO market.

REO tip...When inspecting an REO, check baseboards for discoloration and other evidence of standing water such as peeling floor tiles. An REO property allows you to gain access to the property for an inspection. Lenders have a responsibility to their shareholders and they lose money on non-producing assets. 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. |
