Featured Topic: REOMany REO auction companies accept bids during the auction process only to reject it later on causing much frustration among auction bidders. Foreclosure sales begin with a minimum bid that includes the loan balance, any accrued interest, plus attorney's fees and any costs association with the foreclosure process. Being clear on exit financing allows the REO investor to define their price range and buy the same type of property over and over. Although speculative investing is blamed for many of the current economic problems, knowlegeable investors will ultimately end up being a large part of the the solution and help liquidate the bank owned inventory. Many investors are bidding above list, panicking thinking that the market is at bottom when in reality there are many more REO's to come in the next few years. 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. Many REO homes get broken into and as a result need their windows replaced. This is a huge problem for the banks and accelerates the need to liquidate. Many REO investors use a mix of handy men and general contractor to complete their repair jobs. There are different formulas to determine wholesale, retail and rental REO deals. It is important to have clarity before buying in this unstable market. 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. REO buyers, don't rule yourself out of qualifying for FHA loan to buy a home or refinance your existing mortgage because of credit issues until a mortgage professional has reviewed your credit. REO listing agents generally represent the seller, not the buyer. 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. Buying an REO is not the same as buying a home through the normal channels. In their efforts to create a bidding frenzy, many REO agents will claim that they have 10, 15, 20 or more offers on a REO house when in reality their are only a few offers that the banks would consider. Don't be discouraged by this kind of talk and submit your educated offer. Many REO experts are involved in wholesaling their REO homes. They will pass along a deal they found in as is condition to another buyer for a nominal fee. 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. A common misconception is that foreclosures and REOs are the same. 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. |
