Featured Topic: REOREO agents need to submit an offer along with a buyer package that may include deposit and proof of funds to the bank. In an REO situation, your offer or counter-offer will probably have to be reviewed and approved by several individuals and companies and even once an offer is accepted, the bank may insert wording like subject to corporate approval with 5 days. A three percent down payment is required for Fannie Mae loans and REOs can be funded by the buyers savings, a grant or loan from a non profit organization. Many investors overestimate current and future market rents when analyzing a potential REO cash flow rental house. This is a highly critical step and should involve an expert resource on real estate market rent conditions. Most offers made on REO properties that contain the phrase and or assigns will not be considered by the bank or the REO listing agent. Buying cheap cash flow REO's in bad areas will mean lower rents, higher tenant turn over and increased property management hassles for the hold investor. If other buyers ask for 17 days on an REO, for example, to conduct inspections, and you ask for 10, you will be deemed the more serious buyer. REO VS SHORT SALE. A investor who has a short sale agreement with home owner has no competition but must convince the bank of the homes value. An REO investor must compete with other buyers who may have different perceptions of the properties worth. Many REO homes have not had water service for a long period of time and will require a complete landscaping job. Some of the most successful buy and hold investors repair their properties to high standard and rent at sightly below market. This allows them to find and retain renters who have an interest in keeping and maintaining their houses for a long period of time. HomePath Mortgage Financing is available on Fannie Mae homes and you may qualify even if your credit is less than perfect. Fannie Mae wants to be sure that prospective REO buyers will be able to complete the sales transaction, including obtaining financing when needed. Pre qualification allows you to see how much house you can afford and the mortgage amount you may be able to qualify for before you make an offer on a home. It also helps you focus on homes in an affordable price range. Hire a buyer's agent who has experience working with REOs. FHA requires satisfaction of appraisal conditions prior to closing. Yet, REO banks typically will not authorize repairs prior to closing. Then, toss into the mix that bank repo buyers rarely want to pay for repairs before they own the home. Usually the Bank won’t accept an offer directly from you. Banks accept offers only from a real estate agent or broker. 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. A turn key REO rental house is one that is ready completely ready for a long term hold buyer to purchase. This house has been pre selected, negotiated, repaired, rented and can provide instant monthly cash flow as well as long term appreciation. REO tip....Take note of the condition of the top sold comps in your area and try to estimate your repairs to the market standard. Over repairing can eat away at profits and under repairing can take your property out of consideration for top buyers. 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. 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. |
