Featured Topic: REO


When a bank takes back a home in foreclosure, it becomes an REO and is assigned to a local agent.

Most foreclosure auctions do not result in bids because, if there was enough equity in the property to satisfy the loan, the owner would have probably sold the property and paid off the bank.

An REO can be financed through a number of methods including cash, hard money, conventional and FHA.

Positve cash flow is attained when the monthly collected rent minus expense exceeds the mortgage payment.

The majority of recent closed sales in Southern California are REO wholesale purchases.

REO investors who understand the market values in their chosen areas are able to make quick and confident buying decisions beating the novice investor to the punch.

Lenders are flooded with foreclosures and aggressively slashing prices on REO foreclosed homes.

A short sale is a purchase made from the bank at less than the full owed amount. Many investors get discouraged with this process as it can take many months for the bank to accept or not get accepted at all.

Some areas to pay attention to when inspecting an REO for water damage are around the bathrooms, water heater, solar equipment, water softening equipment, attic spaces and under the kitchen sink.

Savvy investors take care to preselect good neigborhoods, location and configurations that would be desirable for family living when looking for REO cashflow opportunities.

If an REO buyer has a Federal Tax Lien that is in a repayment agreement, you do not have to pay it off in full but you must be able to qualify with the monthly payment of the repayment agreement. State Tax Liens typically must be paid in full prior to closing your FHA loan on an REO.

If the bank won't budge and you receive an offer rejection, wait another 7 to 30 days and then resubmit your original offer, with the original date crossed off and your new date inserted.

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.

The bank wants to recover as much money as they can on an REO, and will try to sell close to market value in many cases.

Foreclosure is a process that allows a lender to recover the amount owed on a defaulted loan by selling or taking ownership (repossession) of the property securing the loan. the bank then calls this property an REO or real esate owned.

Many investors would like to get into the REO market but do not have the time to do the negotiation, repair and rental tasks that are required. A third party REO expert can be a great help in this process and can deliver excellent home for a small fee.

The current REO market in southern California has shown a recent drop in inventory and that has created a price increase.

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.
