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. Most foreclosure auctions do not result in bids because, if there was enough equity in the property to satisfy the loan, the owner would have probably sold the property and paid off the bank. Many investors use a private hard money lender to finance their cash flow REO purchases. Buying, renting and holding REO properties now will create a number of options for the investor in the years to come. Agents who have REO listings that don't sell will often see the listing expire and have the listing assigned to another agent. It is important when buying cash flow REO's to take the point of view of the end user buyer or renter to end up with a home that has long term desirability. In many cases, the list price of an REOhas little bearing on the value of the home. The market value carries the most weight. If you are up against competing offers, other buyers will offer more than list price. According to the National Association of Realtors, all but one state association's May 2009 membership totals trailed membership totals for May 2008, with 28 state associations experiencing a double-digit percentage drop in membership -- that trend has not held for all local and state Realtor associations, though. Home prices are at their most affordable in many years, which has opened up home ownership to many who had been locked out during the housing boom. And now, the federal government and many states are launching plans to hook up buyers of REO homes with very attractive terms. It is important to understand the local economy in your area when considering cash flow over a longer period of time. Fannie Mae may make some repairs to REO homes to increase their marketability however, the buyer should be aware that other repairs may be needed. 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. Hire a buyer's agent who has experience working with REOs. If the bank REO does not appraise for the purchase price and the buyer is obtaining a loan that requires a 20% down payment or less, the buyer's lender will not fund unless the buyer coughs up more cash or the REO lender discounts the price. Cash buyers don't make offers contingent on an appraisal. 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. In a market with so much inventory it is important to select an REO by area, condition and characteristics. This will be a desirable and marketable home when the market recovers. 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. 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. An REO is a property that has been foreclosed on and has reverted back to the ownership of the bank or lender. 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. |
