Featured Topic: REOREO listing agents have some degree of influence over the banks asset manager and like to work with investors who have done there research and due diligence. In an REO situation, the bank will handle eviction of the defaulted prior owner, if necessary, and may do some repairs. In a REO situation, a bank will typically set the opening bid at a foreclosure auction for at least the outstanding loan amount and, if there are no bidders that are interested, then the bank will legally repossess the property, and as soon as the bank repossess the property, it is listed on their books as REO (Real Estate Owned) and is categorized as an asset (non-performing). This is the optimum time to learn about REO's and cash flow as there will be a large transfer of properties needed to liquidate the bank owned inventory. REO listings are currently receiving multiple offers and being bid up above list price Lenders for incoming home buyers are forcing appraisals downward based on the sales data created by REO home sales, which are often in poor condition and not reflective of market value.

Buyers with all cash are REO lenders' favorite purchasers. A list-price all-cash offer will beat out a conventional offer, even if the conventional offer is above list price.
