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. Positve cash flow is attained when the monthly collected rent minus expense exceeds the mortgage payment.

A quiet street at noon can be a war zone at night. This reality will be encountered by your renter and can affect rent amount and vacancy rates. REO tip..although it may seem basic, be sure your subject property has a cooling an heating system. These can get removed at times and if overlooked could cost you thousands. Look for a furnace in the garage or in a closet in the house and a AC or swamp unit on the roof or on the property grounds close to the house. If the house does not sell in the auction, it reverts back to the bank. The lender now has the right to sell the property as an REO (real estate owned), the third and final phase of a foreclosure. The REO option offers many more benefits and less stress than the foreclosure auction. |
