Featured Topic: REOWhen making an REO purchase, it is important to understand market value in your chosen area. 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. Investors who purchased REO's during the down turn of the early 1990's realized huge cashflow and equity gains. An asset manager is the internal position within an REO department that allots the listings to local agents. They are judged on their ability to find agents that can quickly sell the inventory at the highest price. Buying cheap cash flow REO's in bad areas will mean lower rents, higher tenant turn over and increased property management hassles for the hold investor. In many cases, the list price of an REOhas little bearing on the value of the home. The market value carries the most weight. If you are up against competing offers, other buyers will offer more than list price. It typically takes about 30 days for an REO to be prepared for sale by the REO listing agent. In some cases they must evict the homeowner through the court system. Some areas to pay attention to when inspecting an REO for water damage are around the bathrooms, water heater, solar equipment, water softening equipment, attic spaces and under the kitchen sink. Many investors make the mistake of guesstimating market rents when trying to determine monthly cashflow on an REO purchase. HomePath Mortgage Financing is available on Fannie Mae homes and you may qualify even if your credit is less than perfect. Fannie Mae will not accept REO offers contingent on the sale of your current home. Other types of contingencies will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Bank REOs homes are rarely in turnkey condition. Many have been stripped or vandalized, and some are victims of deferred maintenance. 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. The bank will not do or pay for any repairs on REO's in many cases. You will be buying the REO property as is. Make sure your offer includes an inspection contingency that allows you to withdraw if the inspections reveal significant problems. 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 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. What are the benefits of buying an REO property that has been foreclosed on and what are the reasons they failed to find a buyer? 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. |
