Before making an offer on a REO, have your agent contact the the listing agent and ask the following questions: (1) Are there any inspection reports, (2) What work has the bank agreed to, (3) Is there a special "as is" form, (4) How long does it take the bank to accept an offer, and (5) How does your agent deliver the offer? Real estate owned or REO is a class of property owned by a lender, typically a bank, after an unsuccessful sale at a foreclosure auction. Many investors make the mistake of waiting for the television to tell them that the bottom of the real estate market is here while the REO market is providing cash flow opportunities right now. Currently, many wholesale REO's in Southern California are being tied up under contract within a few days of being listed. 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. The only time the deposit check is cashed in an REO offer is when the offer has been accepted. It typically takes about 30 days for an REO to be prepared for sale by the REO listing agent. In some cases they must evict the homeowner through the court system. An REO investor must take care to properly evaluate the condition of a listing and compare that with the standard of the active, pending and sold comparable homes in the area. Budgeting for monthly maintenance issues such as gardening, is important in calculating cash flow on an REO as certain items must be maintained by the owner.

REO properties have properly changed hands. All liens against the property have been addressed. Back taxes have been paid. And the title is clear. In some cases, the bank may have done necessary repairs already. An REO can be a good opportunity to get a property below market value, with a clear title and free possession. In their haste to get the cheapest houses, many investors end up with undesirable REOs that need profit killing repairs. Many of the successful REO buyers are leveraging relationships with REO listing agents and buying inventory that is not on the MLS. Many REO investors do not realize the large number of homes that have gone back to banks but remain unlisted will eventually hit the market and have an impact on price. Short Sale versus REO: Big difference! If you make an offer on a home that is potentially a short sale, you will work with the seller and the bank, with the bank (or banks) being ultimately the decision maker on your deal. The REO option offers many more benefits and less stress than the foreclosure auction. When a bank takes back a property they then have the property listed as a salable asset on their books. The role of a bank is to maximize the wealth for it's shareholders. |
