Featured Topic: REOMany investors prefer buying REO inventory to auction purchases as the auction process cant require much time and effort with no result. Most banks will not provide financing on their REOs but it doesn’t hurt to ask - especially if the property has extensive damage and you are purchasing it as is. In a REO situation, a bank will typically set the opening bid at a foreclosure auction for at least the outstanding loan amount and, if there are no bidders that are interested, then the bank will legally repossess the property, and as soon as the bank repossess the property, it is listed on their books as REO (Real Estate Owned) and is categorized as an asset (non-performing). There are multiple sources of funding currently available to investors purchasing REO's in Southern California. REO listing agents are often skeptical of an investor that has taken a weekend seminar and makes uneducated offers. Most economists agree that this in an unprecedented economic downturn and the REO market will create a huge transfer of wealth and assets. Many novice investors make bad purchases by under estimating the repair costs on REO properties. A short sale is a purchase made from the bank at less than the full owed amount. Many investors get discouraged with this process as it can take many months for the bank to accept or not get accepted at all. An REO investor must take care to properly evaluate the condition of a listing and compare that with the standard of the active, pending and sold comparable homes in the area. As a short-term real estate investor, you need a very easy-to-use tool that will quickly calculate cash flow, profit, a budget, and the investment return for a potential flip. HomePath Mortgage Financing is available on Fannie Mae homes and you may qualify even if your credit is less than perfect. 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. If the bank won't budge and you receive an offer rejection, wait another 7 to 30 days and then resubmit your original offer, with the original date crossed off and your new date inserted. REO properties have properly changed hands. All liens against the property have been addressed. Back taxes have been paid. And the title is clear. In some cases, the bank may have done necessary repairs already. The REO offer process in many ways is less complicated, there is little to no emotion on the part of the seller the REO lender, and deals can be completed much more quickly. 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. In a down market loaded with opportunity, investors should focus on having a successful first project not buying the cheapest house. A good first experience will lead to multiple purchases and ultimately wealth when the up cycle occurs. REO tip..When inspecting an REO look underneath kitchen and bathroom sinks for evidence of water damage and mold. Extensive damage or mold can mean a costly cabinet replacement and/or mold remediation. 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. Real estate brokers in turn with the REO manager within the bank to negotiate through an offer. REOs are a safer method of buying a home than foreclosures and short sales, but you might be paying more than you bargained for and be faced with repairs and replacements. To avoid paying more than you intended, carefully research the area and home prices, as well as possible repair costs to find out if a REO home is right for you. |
