Featured Topic: REOWhen making an REO purchase, it is important to understand market value in your chosen area. 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. Many times homeowners get in over their heads when it comes to purchasing a new home. If they have taken out a loan from the bank and are unable to make their payments their home will be turned over to the bank. From there the bank will place the property on the market for auction or sell. These types of properties immediately become REO Properties and are generally a steal to catch. Buying, renting and holding REO properties now will create a number of options for the investor in the years to come. Many novice investors make offers that get accepted by the bank but they rescind their offer when they realize that they did not do enough homework on the property and major repairs are needed. Most economists agree that this in an unprecedented economic downturn and the REO market will create a huge transfer of wealth and assets. It's not unusual for some REO homes in Southern California to receive 15 or 20 offers. Sometimes the bank will throw out all but two offers and then ask the selected buyers to resubmit what is called "Highest and Final" offer. Many REO homes get broken into and as a result need their windows replaced. This is a huge problem for the banks and accelerates the need to liquidate. Many REO investors use a mix of handy men and general contractor to complete their repair jobs. Many factors must be taken into account when determining market rent in a declining economy. Fannie Mae may make some repairs to REO homes to increase their marketability however, the buyer should be aware that other repairs may be needed. REO buyers should be aware of the following FHA loan qualification guideline: Bankruptcy's must be at least two years old, with perfect credit since discharge. Remember that these guidelines are subject to change at anytime and you should stay abreast of current loan programs. 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. Almost any REO Property you look at will have room for improvement. But the more that needs to be done to a home, the less you’re going to have to pay for it. One more disadvantage of Bank Owned homes or REO Properties is you will not know about the past of the property, but this can be reduced by doing some research on property in public records. The Home Steps REO warranty is available only on single-family HomeSteps homes. The home must be sold as primary residence for at least $25,000 in the 48 contiguous states or Washington, D.C. The warranty and closing cost opportunities are not available on HomeSteps homes sold as investor properties, second homes, or vacation homes. In some communities code enforcement is looking to thin the herd of run down section 8 rentals by imposing heavy fines on their landlord owners. This is something to consider when looking into buying an REO homes as rentals. REO tip....Take note of the condition of the top sold comps in your area and try to estimate your repairs to the market standard. Over repairing can eat away at profits and under repairing can take your property out of consideration for top buyers. A common misconception is that foreclosures and REOs are the same. Other ways to buy foreclosures are to buy at a public auction or buying bank owned or REO properties. These properties are often priced for less than what is owed on them because the bank does not want to hang on to a bunch of properties. |
