Featured Topic: REOREO listing agents have some degree of influence over the banks asset manager and like to work with investors who have done there research and due diligence. An REO (Real Estate Owned) is a property that goes back to the mortgage company after an unsuccessful foreclosure auction. REO properties in poor condition will generally require an all cash offer and be sold as is. The banks will seek to limit their liability in these situations. With the currently low interest rates this is an optimum time to finance REO's for long term hold and cash flow. Many novice investors make offers that get accepted by the bank but they rescind their offer when they realize that they did not do enough homework on the property and major repairs are needed. 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. 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. Many of the poor condition and damage issues associated with REO homes is due to the homeower taking out their anger on the property. A novice agent who is eager to succeed can be trained by a savvy investor to work in the REO market. When selecting a buy an hold cashflow property, take care to think about what areas you would like to own homes in 5 years from now. It is important to consider this and not just buy the cheapest deals. You should also consider hiring a qualified professional to inspect an REO property, whether it has been repaired or not. Hiring a home inspector is a recommended practice, no matter what type of home you buy. REO buyers should be aware of the following FHA loan qualification guideline: Credit report should typically have less than two thirty day lates in last two years with a minimum credit score of 580 or higher or no credit score at all. REO listing agents make money by either selling a lot of REOs or operating as a dual agent. Under dual agency, the REO listing agent will earn both the listing commission and the buyer's agent's commission. A faster cash closing puts money into the REO lender's pocket sooner. There are also fewer things that can go wrong in a short escrow period. The REO offer process in many ways is less complicated, there is little to no emotion on the part of the seller the REO lender, and deals can be completed much more quickly.

In search of a cheap hold REO, many buyers overlook the realities of the neighborhood which can really be costly when trying to rent. Renters have many choices these days and a rough area will require lower rents. 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. If the house does not sell in the auction, it reverts back to the bank. The lender now has the right to sell the property as an REO (real estate owned), the third and final phase of a foreclosure. We expect REO activity to spike in the coming months as foreclosure delays and moratoria implemented by various state laws come to an end |
