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. Once you make an offer to purchase a REO, banks generally present a counter-offer that may be at a higher price than you expect, but they have to demonstrate to investors, shareholders and auditors that they attempted to get the highest price possible and you should definitely plan to counter the counter-offer. Conventional and FHA programs for REOs change regularly and real estate investors must stay abreast of the current loan programs. The last downturn in the real estate market created many millionaires who were able to buy and hold cash flow positive REO properties. It is best to eliminate most contingencies on offers made on REO purchases. 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. 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. Because they are vacant, many REO homes get vandalized and sustain damage. 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.

HomePath Mortgage Financing is available on Fannie Mae homes and you may qualify even if your credit is less than perfect. You do not have to use Fannie Mae's selected title, settlement, or escrow companies on an REO purchase. You may designate the title, settlement, or escrow company of your choice, subject to the terms of the contract. To attract buyer's agents, many banks offer a larger percentage of the commission to the buyer's agent while discounting the REO listing agent's commission. 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. REO properties have some disadvantages too like, not all of are in good condition in some cases you may need to call gas, water & electric companies to get them turned on & also you will have to pay for all repairs. Buying an REO property is not a simple and straightforward as some imagine. Banks may verbally accept your offer, while trying to find a better offer. An REO hold buyer should be familiar with the local municipality and their code enforcement policies. Many cities are hurting for money and have taken aim and bank and investor owned REO properties to generate revenue. REO: this is an acronym for Real Estate Owned, and this used to be called the bank department that managed the properties the bank had reacquired through a foreclosure process after the auction. REO Part II: Banks have departments that must maintain these homes, keep the lights on and keep the taxes paid. Banks cannot legally sell real estate directly to the public, so they enlist the services of a real estate broker to list the home for sale. 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. |
