Real Estate Consulting Team, Inc. - Foreclosure Team

Why Buy Foreclosures?

As foreclosures continue to rise, NOW is the perfect time for investors to look for investment properties to add to their portfolio.

As homeowners strapped with sub-prime mortgages lose their homes to foreclosure, the real estate market is feeling the effects of market change. While these factors can be viewed as being a negative, we can look at the "flip side" to find the positives.

Many prospective homeowners and investors can find that many foreclosed properties are listed at "below market" value. Also, as the foreclosures continue to rise, homeowners will need to have a place to live .

Benefits of Working with Foreclosure Specialists

The Real Estate Consulting Team will do the initial "leg-work" of identifying properties that fit your investment criteria. Because many banks will not work with individuals without representation, we will assist with the paperwork and negotiations involved in purchasing a foreclosure. Our team will also help you find the best lender and inspector to help you complete the transaction.

Three Types of Foreclosure Purchase When purchasing a Foreclosure, the Buyer has the following choices when "holding" the property:

Owner Occupied

· Owner is local and chooses to purchase and live in the property after closing

Buy/Rent/Hold

· Owner is Investor and chooses to purchase the property and then make the necessary improvements to make it ready for lease. The property is then rented by the Seller or through a Property Management Company. or the best return on the Investment, the Investor should hold the property for at least 5 years.

"Flip" Property

· Owner is Investor and chooses to purchase the property with the intent to make the necessary improvements on the property and then put it back on the market to sell at a profit. Generally, the "hold" period on this type of investment is 6-8 months.

Needs to Purchase Foreclosure Properties

Due to the nature of Foreclosure transaction, please be aware that the following steps must be taken in order to start the process. Because the Foreclosure market is a hot commodity, you must submit your information as quickly as possible.

· Buyer must provide a pre-qualification letter, proof of funds (for cash offers) or a bank letter with the initial offer.

· Buyer must use the standard Oklahoma contracts for the purchase. No assigns or pass-through’s are permitted.

· Earnest Money deposit is to be a minimum of $1,000 or 1% of offer price (whichever amount is higher).

· The Option/Inspection period is to be 7 days. Power, water and gas may not be on due to safety issues. Option fee is not necessary.

· The Seller will not make any repairs. The property is to be sold as is.

· Closing should be set for 30 days from the effective date of the contract. The Seller may require late closing penalty fees if the property does not close on time.

· All required addenda must accompany all offers submitted to the Seller. Additional Addenda will be provided by the Seller after contract negotiations.

Because Foreclosure properties are bank owned, please keep the following in mind when writing and submitting offers:
