Bank Repo Properties

Government, VA, HUD, Bank and Private Repossessed Properties

Many homes are on the market as a repo'ed property because of foreclosure, tax sales and insurance. Most people like the thought of buying a repo'ed home because they are normally under market value and can turn a profit to an experienced purchaser.

• Not all repo properties are financially sound and you could end up losing money in the end. Banks no longer sell homes to just get them off their books and they don't sell them for what's still owed to zero out the debt.

• Have a licensed real estate Buyer's Agent help you. They're free and they know the market. A Buyer's Agent could save you thousands in negotiations and help you avoid the headaches that can occur when purchasing these type of properties.

• Many bank and VA acquired homes are hiring contractors and appraisers to bring the home up to market value.

• Most of these type homes are sold "As Is". You can still hire an inspector to see what's wrong with the property but the banks may not be willing to make any repairs.

• Allow time to close your sale. Some homes can take up to 60 days to close and record the property into your name. Be ready for delays and be patient.

• Some properties are in bad shape and need a lot of repairs. Ensure your loan will allow you to purchase this type of property.

• Know the market area. This is where your can reap the rewards. If your handy and you have the cash or a loan that will let you make repairs, you can build some good profits.

• Some loans will require you to live in the property. If your investing and looking to "Flip A House", know your loan. Watch for pre-payment penalties and understand the tax's owed when buying and selling homes in a short amount of time. Look into a 1031 Tax Exchange to possibly avoid or redistribute capital gains tax.

• New lists of repoed homes come out daily. Some lists are on the net but many are accessible by licensed real estate agents only. Most banks will require any offers to be submitted by a licensed agent as well. Remember, our buyer agents are free.
