    What is the difference in REO and Short Sales?
    REO stands for Real Estate owned, and is another way to refer to a bank owned property. This is property that the bank has taken back through foreclosure. Sometimes a seller who is behind in his payments will attempt to sell his house before it goes into foreclosure. To do this, you must negotiate with the bank to accept less than what is owed on the property, and this is known as a short sale. This short informational section describes purchasing an REO, not a short sale, which is altogether different.

    How do I find an REO property?
    REO listings can be found through     ForeclosureDeals.com, local real estate agents who manage and market REO property sales, or by word of mouth.

    What is an REO property?
    An REO property is referred to as a bank foreclosure property. It is a property that did not sell at auction and has been returned to the lender to sell.

    How can I purchase an REO property?
    Carefully investigate the property and the financial situation. Once you have decided to make the purchase, a written contract to the lender’s broker or the lender will need to be submitted.

    What should I be aware of when buying an REO property?
    Before you make an offer, you should make sure that you are able to borrow the amount of money necessary to pay off the debt on the property.

    How much money do I need to purchase REO property?
    You will need an initial deposit, which varies depending on the lender and the value of the property. It can range from $500.00 to $5000.00 and is submitted with your offer. Once the date, price, and terms are set, you will need to pay the balance in order to complete the buying process.
