FHA financing is available for REO homes but generally will require the property to be in decent condition. The current REO inventory holds many opportunities to create a monthly cash flow on Southern California rental homes. It is critical for REO buyers to communicate competence, integrity and ability to close escrow to the listing REO agent. Many REO investors are sitting on their hands waiting to see how government legislation will effect REO inventory in the coming months before they make any offers. 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.

Some banks will not sign a counter offer on an REO until all terms are mutually agreed upon between the parties verbally. 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. You can use this information in formulating your bid. An REO house becomes the property of the lender (usually a bank), and needs to be sold as soon as possible.

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 are properties that the lender has failed to sell at auction. At this point, since the home has gone back to the lender, the mortgage no longer exists. |
