Featured Topic: REOThe prices on current REO inventory are well below building cost and make incredible buy and rent opportunities. Banks do not want to see a lot of proprietary disclosures with REOs; they are exempt from the California Seller’s Transfer Disclosure Statement (TDS-14) and if there are real estate agents involved, either representing you or the bank, those agents are required to provide you their disclosure statements. Many investors use a private hard money lender to finance their cash flow REO purchases. The current REO inventory holds many opportunities to create a monthly cash flow on Southern California rental homes. Real estate investors are already beginning to abandon their fears and pursue the abundance of wholesale REO's available creating a mini bidding frenzy in some Southern California communities. Many of the currently low priced REO's that look good on paper are in fact non conforming and have many bad features such as undesirable configurations, small square footage, border noisy streets or have bad add ons. It's not unusual for some REO homes in Southern California to receive 15 or 20 offers. Sometimes the bank will throw out all but two offers and then ask the selected buyers to resubmit what is called "Highest and Final" offer. 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. Many vacant REOs are subject to code enforcement citations by the local municipality creating an even larger potential liability for the bank that owns the property. Many factors must be taken into account when determining market rent in a declining economy. You should also consider hiring a qualified professional to inspect an REO property, whether it has been repaired or not. Hiring a home inspector is a recommended practice, no matter what type of home you buy. 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. To attract buyer's agents, many banks offer a larger percentage of the commission to the buyer's agent while discounting the REO listing agent's commission. 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. An REO house becomes the property of the lender (usually a bank), and needs to be sold as soon as possible. Purchasers of single-family foreclosed REO homes offered through Freddie Mac’s HomeSteps division will receive a comprehensive two-year home warranty paid for by Freddie Mac, the company announced Monday July 20th. If you get your REO bid accepted, move quickly to get your docs signed and counter signed as the bank will still entertain offers until you are in escrow. REO tip.....Be sure to have a clear picture of your hold time and what the actual hold cost is. Be sure to include market decline. 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. Savings of 20% to 30% off the fair market value are absolutely possible, making an REO purchase the best way to buy a property for the first time home buyer or property investor.

They allow negotiation on all rehab costs, interest, closing points and loan amounts. The purchase is described as 100% risk free and they may allow a less than normal down payment. The bank will also evict the tenants if necessary. So you can see the benefits of of buying REO properties.
