Featured Topic: REOThe financial industry is currently holding tens of thousands of REO properties which when released, will reduce market value even further. In the area of REOs, each bank and lender works differently, but all have similar goals - to get the best price possible and have no interest in dumping the real estate as cheaply as possible by using what is sometime an entire department at a bank that is set up to manage REO inventory. Conventional and FHA programs for REOs change regularly and real estate investors must stay abreast of the current loan programs. Many factors are often overlooked by investors when calculating positive cash flow on an REO rental property such as repairs, maintenance, taxes, insurance, municipal fees, vacancy and a host of other potential fees and costs. It is important that REO buyers have a realistic idea of what repairs will cost on the houses they offer on. Buying well researched and identified cash flow REO homes now will create a solid portfolio that will provide great cash flow and equity appreciation in the future. If there are REO 20 offers, bear in mind that some of those offers might be all cash. Banks like all cash offers.

Usually, when you buy a home, you deal with a seller who lives in the home. Fannie Mae has acquired their properties through foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or forfeiture. A loan prequalification for an REO purchase doesn't mean your loan is approved. You must apply for a loan separately, after you are prequalified and your purchase offer is accepted. Bank REOs homes are rarely in turnkey condition. Many have been stripped or vandalized, and some are victims of deferred maintenance. REO lenders with cash buyers don't have to worry about the transaction closing. Lenders often deny loans for pre qualified buyers because the buyers' qualifications sometimes change upon further scrutiny. When a Property is sold through a foreclosure auction, do not draw any bidders & does not end in sale goes back to financial institution holding the Property. This type of property is often called as REO property or Bank Owned Homes.

Be sure to include market decline. 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. |
