Tips on Buying REOs: Bank Owned Post Foreclosures

Homes that are acquired by a bank from foreclosure are called REOs: real estate owned. These are properties that have gone back to the mortgage company in the aftermath of an unsuccessful foreclosure auction. You might ask, “Why would an auction on an already deemed to be foreclosed home be unsuccessful?” Well, they almost always are. And the reason is that the minimum bid on such properties would have to cover the costs of all that is currently owed to the bank/lender, and this includes: the loan balance, accrued interest, any attorney fees and every cost associated with the foreclosure process.As you might imagine, what is owed to the bank is almost always more than the value of the property. At the point of an unsuccessful auction, where the minimum bid is not met, the property reverts to the bank as an REO.
