Featured Topic: REOMany investors prefer buying REO inventory to auction purchases as the auction process cant require much time and effort with no result. In an REO, the bank now owns the property and the mortgage loan no longer exists. Before submitting an offer on an REO it is prudent to for the investor to be pre qualified and clear about their financing. Monthly cash flow attained by purchasing and holding REO's can produce a substantial monthly income. It is best to eliminate most contingencies on offers made on REO purchases. Many REO investors rely on the opinions of inexperienced buyers agents to formulate their offers. These agents are often desperate to make a sale and do not understand market value or cash flow analysis. Most REO agents work for one or two banks. Some listing agents are exclusive listing agents for REOs, and they do not list any other type of property. Since REO agents deal in volume, they typically apply the same pricing principles to all their REO listings. A vacant REO only depreciates in value and is a liability on a banks ledger sheet. REOs with swimming pools typically have empty or half empty pools that will require repair to the plaster, tile, electrical and pump equipment. This along with a smaller buyer group, increased liability in a hold situation and higher insurance will keep many investors from bidding on pool homes Local unemployment stats should be factored in when determining cash flow on an REO property. Fannie Mae sells each REO property as is, which means that the buyer accepts the property "as is." Fannie Mae is not responsible for fixing any problems after settlement. FHA would typically require that any outstanding collection accounts, judgments, charge offs be paid off in full before closing your loan but not necessarily before approving your loan on an REO. 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. An REO property has been foreclosed by the lending institution, and has reverted to their ownership. This is not how the bank wants foreclosures to end. In most cases, the market value of the home simply does not cover the loan balance, repair costs, and other fees associated with foreclosure and sale. Buying an REO is not the same as buying a home through the normal channels. Nearly two million foreclosure filings were recorded during the first half of the year 2009, according to the market research company RealtyTrac which will create a glut of REOs for years to come. 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..When inspecting an REO look underneath kitchen and bathroom sinks for evidence of water damage and mold. Extensive damage or mold can mean a costly cabinet replacement and/or mold remediation. REO Part II: Banks have departments that must maintain these homes, keep the lights on and keep the taxes paid. 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. Because of all the unknowns and requirements with foreclosure auctions many people prefer buying an REO. |
