Bulk REO Investing In This Current Market
Bulk REO Investing is proving to be one of the most lucrative fields of investment during 2009 and beyond. Bulk REO Investors profit by purchasing groups (commonly called portfolios) of properties from lenders who have repossessed the properties and have urgent need to release pressure from their balance sheets. Due to the urgency of the balance sheet needs of the financial institutions coupled with the investors ability to buy a package of REO properties rather than individual properties, its frequently possible for a well-capitalized bulk reo investor to acquire REO packages at extremely attractive prices.
Most bulk REO real estate investors make offers to lending institutions on the basis of a percentage of unpaid mortgage balance. This means that if the investors make an offer of 60 cents on the dollar for a package of loans with a remaining balance of $3,000,000 in principal balance, then they pay $1,800,000 to acquire that group of houses.
When the REO portfolio transactions are finalized, investors have multiple houses which may then be sold to bring a return to their fund. To do this, the investors resell their houses to retail home buyers via seller financing. By eliminating traditional lenders out of the transactions, they are able to move their houses quickly and at very attractive options.
Try to learn when the banks financial quarter ends. This is when they report their quarterly earnings and financials and when most of supervisory management get evaluated for increases in pay. Just like any business, financial institutions dont want to show these underperforming properties on their books especially when their earnings reports are due.
Valuate the properties, figure out what you need to get them for, and put in your second (or third) best offer (do not give your best offer first).
Negotiate until its a win for all: you get to have several properties at lower than market value the bank walks away with those deals off of their books just in time for the quarterly earnings reports to shareholders.
The future seems quite bright for astute Bulk REO investors. - 23199
