Foreclosure & REO: Investor & Buyer FAQ

What does "REO" stand for? +

REO stands for "Real Estate Owned." It is a banking term used to describe property that has been foreclosed upon and is now owned by the lender or a government agency.

How is a foreclosed home different from a traditional "Short Sale"? +

A short sale is still owned by an individual who owes more than the home is worth; these require 3rd party bank approval and can be uncertain. An REO property is already owned by the bank, meaning you negotiate and close directly with the institution.

Are REO properties always sold "As-Is"? +

Yes, almost always. While you have the right to an inspection, the seller is generally under no obligation to make repairs.

Can I buy a foreclosure with a traditional mortgage? +

Yes, though some properties may need improvements to qualify for standard financing. Most banks require a pre-approval letter or proof of funds to be submitted with any offer.

Is a "low ball" offer effective on a foreclosure? +

Foreclosures are often priced aggressively at or below market value. In multiple-offer situations, banks frequently request a "Highest and Best" deadline. Low offers may result in your bid not being considered at all.
