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). 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. 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. |
