The last downturn in the real estate market created many millionaires who were able to buy and hold cash flow positive REO properties. REO buyers must prove themselves to be dependable and trustworthy to REO listing agents to gain an inside advantage and develop a long term business relationship. Lenders for incoming home buyers are forcing appraisals downward based on the sales data created by REO home sales, which are often in poor condition and not reflective of market value. Sometimes banks will pay for repairs on REOs, but typically will not agree to do so at the offer stage. If there are problems found during a home inspection, renegotiate after your offer has been accepted. 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 REOs are secured by an electronic SUPRA box and cannot be accessed by a number code. An investor must have interior access to a home to make a repair estimate. Many factors must be taken into account when determining market rent in a declining economy.

Remember that these guidelines are subject to change at anytime and you should stay abreast of current loan programs.

It is important to consider quality when buying an REO in this market.

REO tip...REO homes usually have no water service on, you may want to look up in the attic for any broken pipes or mold damage and check the interior walls and ceiling structures for water damage. Buying a bank-owned or REO property may take an equal amount of time and angst, but the property will be vacant and easier to inspect. If you've been looking at foreclosures but are unsure whether you want to risk your money on a property you can't inspect or know what might be hidden behind the low price, you might want to consider a real estate owned property. Real estate owned (REO) properties can be a better option for people who want to have all the information before deciding to buy. |
