Bank Foreclosures: Evaluating the Risk Before You Invest
Bank foreclosures offer investors the potential to make a hefty profit, but they also carry a tremendous risk. Before investing in real estate owned properties, it's imperative to conduct research to fully understand the process involved and weigh the pros and cons.
When foreclosure homes are not sold at auction, they are returned to the bank. Also known as real estate owned (REO), bank foreclosure properties are sold directly through the lender. Most banks want to sell REO properties as quickly as possible. However, this does not mean they are eager to sell them for less than is owed on the mortgage note.

Does REO really mean Real Estate Owned? Bank realestate owned properties are hot prospects.
REO is the latest buzz word in today's real estate industry. REO stands for Real Estate Owned; meaning the property is owned by the bank. Before property reverts to the bank, an attempt must be made to sell it through a real estate foreclosure auction. This is an important fact to keep in mind.
Many people think REO properties are dirt cheap, but this is rarely the case. Realize that foreclosure homes have no equity and an inflated mortgage. In other words, more money is owed on the note than the house is worth. This is the main reason they don't sell at auction.

REO Properties
REO properties include real estate which is owned by the bank. Properties can include single-dwelling homes, multi-family dwellings such as duplexes or apartment buildings, commercial property, farms and vacant land.
A common misconception is REO properties are sold for pennies on the dollar. This is typically not the case. Banks want to recoup their losses and at least break even on their investment. Therefore, most REO properties are sold for the amount due on the note. Currently, few banks accept less than ninety-five cents on the dollar. However, as foreclosure rates continue to escalate, banks will be forced to accept lower amounts in order to liquidate their inventory.
