Buying Short sales vs. Bank Owned Properties (REOs)


With the majority of sales being Short Sales and Foreclosures in our current market I thought I’d explain a little about each one and some of the pros and cons.

There are upsides and downsides to each, for example:

Buying a Foreclosed home- (Bank owned, REO, etc)

When you are buying a foreclosure there are usually bank required addenda/contracts that will be utilized when buying which sometimes scare would be home buyers. They are not to be feared if you understand what is required of you, and the terms they contain, but if you are fearful it’s always good to have your attorney review them BEFORE you sign.

Are Foreclosures Really Good Investments?

The answer is…it depends…

First, you need to identify what makes a deal good to you? Good price? Good Condition? Good Terms? Some combination of the three? Knowing what makes sense for your goals and finances is the key knowing if the property you’re looking at is a deal.

First things First…..

When thinking about buying a foreclosure, or any home for that matter, make sure you know what your goals are for the property BEFORE you make the offer!!!

Just remember, “if you fail to plan you plan to fail”, at least most of the time anyway. When it comes to my clients, I let them know upfront that if they like a property that needs $30K in rehab costs, and a lot of out of pocket expenses, but they don’t have much money to put into the deal readily available, that they need to be careful.
