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. 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 financing is available for REO properties but will require a substantial down payment, good fico score and documented income. Buying renting and holding a Southern California REO rental home can create a monthly cash flow and future equity appreciation as we are in a historically low period in the real estate market. REO listing agents are judged by the banks on their ability to find worthy buyers that can close escrow without hassles. A failed escrow is a negative mark on their record. Most economists agree that this in an unprecedented economic downturn and the REO market will create a huge transfer of wealth and assets. A copy of a check for one thousand dollars is usually submitted as a deposit with most REO offers. The offer typically states that the check will be placed into escrow within 48 hours of acceptance. Many homeowners are very angered by the foreclosure process and cause physical damage to the REO property prior to leaving. Many experienced investors make their inspection of an REO by looking through the windows and budgeting for the rooms they cannot see. This is not the most desirable method but will suffice when interior access is not possible. Some of the most successful buy and hold investors repair their properties to high standard and rent at sightly below market. This allows them to find and retain renters who have an interest in keeping and maintaining their houses for a long period of time.

In addition to your ability to pay for a mortgage on an REO (as indicated by your debts and income), FHA will look at your ability to repay as indicated by your credit report. Some REO Homes do not qualify for conventional financing. Mortgage underwriters may turn down a loan from an otherwise qualified buyer if the property requires too much work to meet health and safety codes. A conventional buyer's offer with 20% down, however, will typically beat out an offer from a buyer obtaining an FHA loan. REO Homes, because they’re sold in “as-is” condition, can often be a great, affordable opportunity for the fixer-upper. An REO house becomes the property of the lender (usually a bank), and needs to be sold as soon as possible.

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: 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 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. 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. |
