Featured Topic: REOWhen a bank takes back a home in foreclosure, it becomes an REO and is assigned to a local agent. In a foreclosure situation, the amount owed to the bank is almost always more than what the property is worth, very few foreclosure auctions result in a successful sale and the property instead reverts to the bank, thus becoming an REO, or Real Estate Owned property. Cash is preferred by the banks on REO offers because the escrow period is shorter. The bank will want to see proof of funds submitted with the offer. Many investors overestimate current and future market rents when analyzing a potential REO cash flow rental house. This is a highly critical step and should involve an expert resource on real estate market rent conditions. 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. REO investors must develop a method of appraising current market value and after repaired value on the homes they offer on. If there are REO 20 offers, bear in mind that some of those offers might be all cash. Banks like all cash offers. If you are obtaining financing, then you may need to increase the price on your offer to be considered. 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. REO investors must visually inspect houses for the structural integrity of major components such as the foundation, roof, walls, plumbing and electrical. The bank will not take responsibility for the investors mistakes. It is important to understand the local economy in your area when considering cash flow over a longer period of time. HomePath Mortgage Financing is available on Fannie Mae homes and is available to both owner occupiers and investors. REO buyers should be aware that FHA loans are the easiest type of real estate mortgage loan to qualify for. The FHA guidelines for loan qualification are the most flexible of all mortgage loans that require less than 5% down payment. Remember that these guidelines are subject to change at anytime and you should stay abreast of current loan programs. The bank may ask for you to submit a loan application so it can prequalify you for an REO, however, you are not obligated to obtain your loan from that bank. HUD does not warrant the condition of its REO properties, but will give you the information it has about the condition of the property you’re interested in. You can use this information in formulating your bid. 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. In a market with so much inventory it is important to select an REO by area, condition and characteristics. This will be a desirable and marketable home when the market recovers. It is good to see a neighborhood at different times of of day. A quiet street at noon can be a war zone at night. This reality will be encountered by your renter and can affect rent amount and vacancy rates. REO tip..When inspecting an REO look underneath kitchen and bathroom sinks for evidence of water damage and mold. Extensive damage or mold can mean a costly cabinet replacement and/or mold remediation. A common misconception is that foreclosures and REOs are the same. Although they are similar they are in fact different with the REO being the direct result of a foreclosure option sale. An REO is a property that has been foreclosed on and has reverted back to the ownership of the bank or lender. 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. The role of a bank is to maximize the wealth for it's shareholders. |
