Bulk REO Investing is proving to be one of the most lucrative fields of investment during 2009 and beyond. Bulk REO Investors profit by purchasing groups (commonly called portfolios) of properties from lenders who have repossessed the properties and have urgent need to release pressure from their balance sheets. Due to the urgency of the balance sheet needs of the financial institutions coupled with the investors ability to buy a package of REO properties rather than individual properties, its frequently possible for a well-capitalized bulk reo investor to acquire REO packages at extremely attractive prices.
Many real estate investors make offers to banking institutions on the basis of a portion of unpaid principal balances. This means that if they make an offer of 80 cents on the dollar for a group of mortgages with a remainder of $3,000,000 in principal balance, then they pay $2,400,000 to get that group.
At the conclusion of the reo portfolio transactions, investors own multiple properties which must then be monetized to bring a return to their portfolio. To do this, they typically resell the properties to retail home buyers via owner financing. By cutting traditional lenders out of their transactions, REO investors are able to sell their properties more quickly and at very appealing terms.
Make an attempt to find out when the banks financial quarter ends. This is where they record their quarterly earnings and financials and when most of upper management get reviewed for bonuses. Just like any company, banks dont want to have these underperforming assets on their records, especially when their earnings records are due.
Analyze the deals, determine what you want to get them for, and put in your second (or third) best offer (never offer your best offer first).
Negotiate until its a win-win. .. and you walk away with several properties at below market value the bank walks away with those properties off of their books just in time for their quarterly earnings reports to shareholders.
