Featured Topic: REOIf you establish a relationship with an REO listing agent who controls inventory you must be ready to close escrow quickly to establish yourself with that agent. In order to bid at a foreclosure auction, you must have a cashier's check in your hand for the full amount of your bid. REO properties in poor condition will generally require an all cash offer and be sold as is. The banks will seek to limit their liability in these situations. 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. 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. Putting and or assignee on a REO purchase contract shows a weak buyer and makes the bank think the buyer isn't sure where their funds are coming from. When a home goes back to the lender in a foreclosure, it gets assigned to an agent who then will need time to clean up, secure and prepare the home for sale.

A list-price all-cash offer will beat out a conventional offer, even if the conventional offer is above list price. If the listing's conditions state "cash buyers only," it is unlikely the bank will consider an offer from any buyer who is relying on financing. Before starting the process of buying REO Homes, you need to understand what is involved. Many REO buyers select an area that they like, drive the streets and collect agent and property details off of the signs. In this regard they are able to touch and feel an area in a way that can't be done over the computer. When buying an REO as a hold property it is important to consider repairs, vacancy rates, maintenance cost, management cost, rent decline as well as bigger market and demographic indicators. REO tip..to help project the health of an area, pull the NOD and foreclosure data within a 1 or 2 mile radius. This should help you determine what the area will look like over a to 12 month period. Areas with a high level of foreclosure activity will have a longer road to recovery. 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. 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. |
