Featured Topic: REOIf you establish a relationship with an REO listing agent who controls inventory you must be ready to close escrow quickly to establish yourself with that agent. Once you make an offer to purchase a REO, banks generally present a counter-offer that may be at a higher price than you expect, but they have to demonstrate to investors, shareholders and auditors that they attempted to get the highest price possible and you should definitely plan to counter the counter-offer. Being clear on exit financing allows the REO investor to define their price range and buy the same type of property over and over.

REO buyers should be aware that FHA loans are the easiest type of real estate mortgage loan to qualify for. The FHA guidelines for loan qualification are the most flexible of all mortgage loans that require less than 5% down payment. Remember that these guidelines are subject to change at anytime and you should stay abreast of current loan programs. Expect the bank to draw its own REO purchase contract or addendum to your standard purchase contract. Read it thoroughly and ask a real estate lawyer for advice if you do not understand it. Banks may require a cash REO buyer to show proof of funds. This rules out obtaining a refinance on a residence unless the money is already in the bank. When a Property is sold through a foreclosure auction, do not draw any bidders & does not end in sale goes back to financial institution holding the Property. This type of property is often called as REO property or Bank Owned Homes.

REO tip....Take note of the condition of the top sold comps in your area and try to estimate your repairs to the market standard. Over repairing can eat away at profits and under repairing can take your property out of consideration for top buyers. A common misconception is that foreclosures and REOs are the same. Although they are similar they are in fact different with the REO being the direct result of a foreclosure option sale. 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. |
