Featured Topic: REOReal estate investors are able to buy lender owned REO homes in Southern California for fifty cents on the dollar or better and rent them out for a positive cash flow. Your offer in an REO situation should include an inspection contingency period that allows you to terminate the sale if the inspections reveal unanticipated damages that the bank will not correct. 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. REO listings are currently receiving multiple offers and being bid up above list price Many REO investors are currently buying bad deals by basing their offers solely on the fact that the house looks cheap. This creates bad experiences that stop them from continuing their investing careers. 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. From 2004 through 2005, home-sale activity surged toward a peak in most U.S. metropolitan real estate markets. The feverish market activity lured a long line of individuals to obtain a real estate license, with the hopes of cashing in on the booming sales Many REO homes have not had water service for a long period of time and will require a complete landscaping job. Many factors must be taken into account when determining market rent in a declining economy. Even if an REO has fresh paint, brand new carpet, new appliances, perhaps even a new roof or siding, it doesn't mean everything in the house is new, or even works. FHA will look mostly at the last two years of your credit history of REO buyers. If there are some credit issues, we may be able to overcome them with sufficient explanations and supporting documents of why the issues occurred. Following is some the the reasons FHA will accept: Loss of Job, Job Transfer or Serious Illness. Most REO listing agents list only REOs and no other type of property. REO lenders with cash buyers don't have to worry about the transaction closing. Lenders often deny loans for pre qualified buyers because the buyers' qualifications sometimes change upon further scrutiny. Before starting the process of buying REO Homes, you need to understand what is involved. Ask a group of real estate millionaires how they made their money and most will recite some version of this axiom When everyone zigs, you zag. In today’s downward real estate market the axiom simply translates into buying property when most others are not and that’s exactly what REO buyers in Southern California are doing. When looking for the cheapest REOs, an investor should go out and really see the areas and inventory. Usually there is a reason for the low pricing. That does not mean that there are not super deals but the listing agents are pricing according to area, desirability and condition. They are looking to dump the house quick and you don't want a lemon REO. REO tip...REO homes usually have no electrical service on, you should check the panel and make sure that the wires are attatched and that the power meter is still there. An REO property allows you to gain access to the property for an inspection. Lenders have a responsibility to their shareholders and they lose money on non-producing assets. We expect REO activity to spike in the coming months as foreclosure delays and moratoria implemented by various state laws come to an end |
