Featured Topic: REOWhen a bank takes back a home in foreclosure, it becomes an REO and is assigned to a local agent. In a foreclosure situation, the amount owed to the bank is almost always more than what the property is worth, very few foreclosure auctions result in a successful sale and the property instead reverts to the bank, thus becoming an REO, or Real Estate Owned property. Conventional and FHA programs for REOs change regularly and real estate investors must stay abreast of the current loan programs. The current REO inventory holds many opportunities to create a monthly cash flow on Southern California rental homes. 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. An educated, well researched offer can be profitable in almost any market but especially so in a down market with a glut of REO inventory. In many cases, the list price of an REOhas little bearing on the value of the home. The market value carries the most weight. If you are up against competing offers, other buyers will offer more than list price. Many homeowners are very angered by the foreclosure process and cause physical damage to the REO property prior to leaving. Many REO homes have not had water service for a long period of time and will require a complete landscaping job. Savvy investors take care to preselect good neigborhoods, location and configurations that would be desirable for family living when looking for REO cashflow opportunities.

There are some credit issues that REO must allow for a certain time to pass before you can qualify for a FHA loan. They are follows: Two years from the date of discharge for a Bankruptcy and Three years from the date of Foreclosure. Some banks will not sign a counter offer on an REO until all terms are mutually agreed upon between the parties verbally. If the bank REO does not appraise for the purchase price and the buyer is obtaining a loan that requires a 20% down payment or less, the buyer's lender will not fund unless the buyer coughs up more cash or the REO lender discounts the price. Cash buyers don't make offers contingent on an appraisal. An REO can be a good opportunity to get a property below market value, with a clear title and free possession. To qualify for the limited-time buyer's closing cost offer, buyers must submit initial purchase offers by October 31, 2009 and complete the closing by December 31, 2009. This could help many families to move into REO homes with more confidence. Many REO buyers are using current market rents to establish a buy price. This model is similar to a commercial real estates buyers approach. REO tip.....Be sure to have a clear picture of your hold time and what the actual hold cost is. Be sure to include market decline. 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.
