Rehabing in a Declining Market

8/30/2024

0 Comments

 
In a declining real estate market, it's crucial to minimize rehab costs and speed up the process to maintain current market value. Anticipate a potential 5-10% market drop and price accordingly.

Focus on basic, quick, "lipstick" rehabs rather than high-end renovations, as the latter can lead to greater losses due to time and market fluctuations.

Keep your projects short, simple, and efficient to avoid significant losses.

What is an REO Property?

Real Estate Investing Explained

In this video, we discuss what an REO (Real Estate Owned) property is and how it becomes one. Learn about the foreclosure process, loan defaults, and why REO properties are attractive to investors. Discover our real estate investing strategies for buying, selling, and managing real estate, including virtual wholesaling, renovation projects, and more. 

What is a REO foreclosure?  What is a Real Estate Owned (REO) Property? 

  • REO stands for “Real Estate Owned”
  • Foreclosed properties where ownership has transferred to the bank or lender

How Does a Property Become an REO property?

  • Loan Default: The homeowner/borrower defaults or fails to make their mortgage payments for a certain length of time
  • Foreclosure: The lender initiates legal proceedings against the borrower to foreclose on the property.
  • Auction: The property is then offered to the public at a foreclosure auction (sheriff sale) and typically sold to the highest bidder.
  • REO: If the home fails to sell at auction to a third party, the lender is now the owner.

REO properties can be attractive to homebuyers and real estate investors. Sometimes lenders are motivated sellers who do not want to sit on their REO inventory and these homes may be priced at a discount.
