Featured Topic: REOLenders are selling off their Southern California foreclosures at deeply discounted prices making this a profitable time for real estate investors. REO offers are usually FAXED to the bank because the listing agent needs your originals and there is no formal presentation so keep in mind nothing happens evenings and weekends because banks are closed. Many times homeowners get in over their heads when it comes to purchasing a new home. If they have taken out a loan from the bank and are unable to make their payments their home will be turned over to the bank. From there the bank will place the property on the market for auction or sell. These types of properties immediately become REO Properties and are generally a steal to catch. A number of positive cash flow REO rentals in the Southern California market can create a passive monthly income suitable for ones retirement. It is important that REO buyers have a realistic idea of what repairs will cost on the houses they offer on. Lenders for incoming home buyers are forcing appraisals downward based on the sales data created by REO home sales, which are often in poor condition and not reflective of market value. Sometimes the bank simply accepts the best REO offer at inception and goes directly into escrow.. REO VS SHORT SALE. A investor who has a short sale agreement with home owner has no competition but must convince the bank of the homes value. An REO investor must compete with other buyers who may have different perceptions of the properties worth. A novice agent who is eager to succeed can be trained by a savvy investor to work in the REO market. When calculating monthly cash flow be sure to include tax, insurance, management, municipal fees and vacancy costs. Even if an REO has fresh paint, brand new carpet, new appliances, perhaps even a new roof or siding, it doesn't mean everything in the house is new, or even works. A loan prequalification for an REO purchase doesn't mean your loan is approved. You must apply for a loan separately, after you are prequalified and your purchase offer is accepted.

Then, toss into the mix that bank repo buyers rarely want to pay for repairs before they own the home. REO properties have some disadvantages too like, not all of are in good condition in some cases you may need to call gas, water & electric companies to get them turned on & also you will have to pay for all repairs.

It is good to see a neighborhood at different times of of day. A quiet street at noon can be a war zone at night. This reality will be encountered by your renter and can affect rent amount and vacancy rates.
