What are the advantages of buying bank-owned properties or REO homes?
For real estate investors and homebuyers, bank-owned properties and REOs offer opportunities that are not available in the pre-foreclosure and auction phase of the foreclosure process. Buying bank-owned real estate offers the foreclosure buyer many advantages:
- Bank-owned properties are usually sold at below-market prices with great terms like low down payments and low interest rates.
- Buying bank-owned properties involves less risk and less competition.
- Foreclosures that are owned by banks are usually clear of any liens that may have been recorded against the property.
- Since the seller of REO homes is also the lender, you can negotiate with the bank to have them pay for all or some of the closing costs.
- Bank-owned properties are usually vacant because the banks have evicted the previous owner, saving the investor or homebuyer time, money and emotional toll involved in the eviction process
