Featured Topic: REOPositive cashflow reo houses are abundantly available in the Southern California Real Estate market, in particular the Palmdale Lancaster area has great deals for investors. 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. Before submitting an offer on an REO it is prudent to for the investor to be pre qualified and clear about their financing. There are multiple sources of funding currently available to investors purchasing REO's in Southern California. It is best to eliminate most contingencies on offers made on REO 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. If there are REO 20 offers, bear in mind that some of those offers might be all cash. Banks like all cash offers. If you are obtaining financing, then you may need to increase the price on your offer to be considered. Some REO listing agents are able to convince the bank to put out some money for repairs so they can sell the property for the maximum amount. It is important that REO investors look for water damage and the evidence of mold as the water service may not be on and leaks can not be easily evaluated. Many investors make the mistake of guesstimating market rents when trying to determine monthly cashflow on an REO purchase. If Fannie Mae knows of any hazards on REO properties they own or market, they disclose this information through their real estate listing agents. However, they may not have been informed by the previous owner of all hazards. They encourage you to have the property inspected by a professional before you buy. In addition to your ability to pay for a mortgage on an REO (as indicated by your debts and income), FHA will look at your ability to repay as indicated by your credit report. The bank does not want to sit on its inventory. Since it did not receive its minimum bid from an investor or home buyer during the foreclosure sale at the courthouse, the bank is likely to price that REO home for less, just to get rid of it. A cash REO buyer does not need 30 or 45 days to close if the buyer is not obtaining a loan. Once the home inspection and other contingencies have been satisfied or released, closing can take place in as little as 3 to 7 days, providing the buyer is willing to sign a lead-based paint waiver. 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. 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. It can be beneficial to track the listing history of and REO. Multiple failed escrows can be a great indicator that a bank is ready to give up the super wholesale deal to get the asset off its books. The current REO market in southern California has shown a recent drop in inventory and that has created a price increase. Buying a bank-owned or REO property may take an equal amount of time and angst, but the property will be vacant and easier to inspect. 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. |
