What is REO Property?

Real estate owned property is becoming a larger part of the Daytona Beach homes market. Real estate owned, or REO, is the term used when banks have completed the foreclosure process and are in possession, or own the property. Bank owned property is also used to mean the same as REO.

Let's be clear, banks have a dilemma. On one hand, they don't want to own real estate. It causes them lots of problems and expense. On the other hand, they want to get the best price when they sell their REO properties.

Most banks and lenders are not equipped to sell real estate. They hire real estate agents to list and market the properties. These agents and the banks set the price by using Broker Price Opinions (BPOs) from one, two, or three real estate agents who should be familiar with the area. The banks will also be in possession of an appraisal in most cases. The agents job is to sell the foreclosed (REO) property at the highest possible price.

How Can You Benefit from REO Property?

The real estate agent lists the property, but the bank is the owner and they will make the final decision on any offer that you present. So, why might these properties be a good option for you:

• Lower closing costs if you finance through the bank that owns the property
• Free and clear - there will be no hidden tax liens, contractor liens or IRS issues
• Many properties priced to sell
• You may be able to negotiate less than 20% down payment

Pre-foreclosures and foreclosures at auction may have strings attached. There may be liens against the property and it is your obligation to discover these before the sale. That means more risk for you. When the bank forecloses and takes possession of a property, these liens and the risk are removed.

You will be buying the REO property "AS-IS." It is absolutely critical that you have the REO property thoroughly inspected before purchasing and REO property. Make sure it is a contingency in your offer.

When considering buying a foreclosure home or condo, it's wise to look at all the options. Short sales can be a better deal in many cases because the bank is saving the cost of complete foreclosure. The downside is that it takes much longer for the bank to respond to short sale offers than REO offers. If you have patience, short sales may make more sense. Daytona Beach short sales are hot and I've helped quite a few buyers make good deals in the past six months. I've also helped buyers find good REO properties.
