How to Buy Foreclosed Properties
Investors, whether seasoned or new, have a prime opportunity to buy foreclosed properties. While this can be highly rewarding, it's not without its risks. The key is thorough research before committing to any property. Numerous magazines, newsletters, and subscription websites can aid in this process.
The Three Phases of Foreclosure Investment
When considering foreclosures, there are three investment opportunity phases:
1. Default Phase (Pre-Foreclosure): In this stage, you negotiate directly with the homeowner or lender before formal foreclosure. It's crucial to inspect the property, understand the owner's needs, and assess the property's market value, repair costs, and potential sales price. If you can close the deal, make necessary repairs, and sell it quickly, significant profits are possible.
2. Auction Phase: Buying foreclosures at auctions is best suited for experienced investors. Although potentially rewarding, it comes with risks. Properties are auctioned to the highest bidder, with the process moving quickly. You compete against lenders and other investors, making it imperative to research the property thoroughly beforehand. Auctions may offer savings of up to 45% off market values, but they also come with challenges?"such as postponed auctions and potentially having no chance to inspect the property. Payment is often required promptly, sometimes within hours. If anything seems questionable, it's wise to walk away. Inadequate research can result in lost time and money.
3. Real Estate Owned (REO) Phase: Purchasing REO properties is often the easiest path. This occurs when the lender repossesses the property and assigns it to a real estate agent to sell. REO properties come with clear titles, eliminating the need for extensive research in this area. Additionally, the lender covers all property taxes. While necessary repairs may or may not be completed, the property's condition is reflected in the selling price. This is a lower-risk investment, but it typically doesn't yield large discounts.
In all phases, due diligence is paramount to ensure a successful investment in foreclosed properties.
