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. Many REO buyers agents are not comfortable working with investors. It is important to find an agent that is familiar with investor transactions.

Buying an REO property is not a simple and straightforward as some imagine. Banks may verbally accept your offer, while trying to find a better offer. A turn key REO rental house is one that is ready completely ready for a long term hold buyer to purchase. This house has been pre selected, negotiated, repaired, rented and can provide instant monthly cash flow as well as long term appreciation. 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. The process starts with the notice of default filed and, in California, ends with a trustee's sale back to the lender (if no one else buys the property on the county courthouse steps). An REO is the simplest way to purchase property. There are some downsides to REOs. While REOs are sometimes touted as real bargains, the lenders know very well what they're worth and will drive a hard bargain to ensure they are getting as much money as possible from the sale. |
