Real Estate Investing in Foreclosure Properties for Beginners by Under30wealth.Com Real Estate Investing in Foreclosure Properties for Beginners by Under30Wealth.com Interested in buying foreclosed homes as investment property to fix and flip or hold onto as rental units? You’ve come to the right place. I’ve been investing in foreclosed homes for a few years now and think it’s a smart way to go to find real estate at a discount to market value. Check out this short video on investing in foreclosure properties as I share a few tips and basics for the beginning real estate investor. What is foreclosure? When a homeowner takes out a mortgage on a property, they sign a promissory note saying that they promise to pay back the loan to the lender. A mortgage document is also signed which backs up the loan by using the house as collateral. In the event the homeowner stops making payments, the lender can take possession of the home and sell it to recoup their losses from the loan. Benefits of Investing in Foreclosed Homes As a real estate investor, you want to bargain hunt and find homes that are under valued. One of the best places to look is foreclosed homes that are owned by the lending institutions. Buying foreclosed homes at auction can be risky, so most beginning investors will focus on Real Estate Owned (REO) properties which are homes that were foreclosed on but didn’t sell at auction. In other words, the banks had to retain title of the property after no one bought it at auction and now they are listing it on the market for sale via a real estate agent. Banks are concerned with recouping the amount owed on the loan which means you have the opportunity of getting an undervalued investment property because the bank will price it below market value in most cases depending on the current real estate market. How to Find Foreclosed Homes for Sale? The best recommended resources I can give you include the following: • Speak with a real estate agent • Speak to a local bank • Search on Zillow • Search on other online websites Speak with a real estate agent There are agents who specialize in foreclosed homes and have a listing inventory they can send you to look through. If the agent doesn’t have an existing list, they can go onto the MLS and pull homes for sale. The MLS is a platform only agents have access to and it allows them to screen for specific property characteristics. Your agent will screen for REO homes and you can set a certain amount of days the home has been for sale if you’d like. For example, you can screen for homes that have been for sale at least 90 days because this means there is less competition as many investors have already bypassed this property and were not interested. It also could mean the bank will be willing to come down on price even more since the property has been sitting on their books for some time and they desperately want to get rid of it and earn income from the sale. Speak with a local bank about REO Properties There are bound to be banks in your city who have foreclosed homes they are sitting on. You can contact these banks and ask for a list of REO properties as well as a list of properties that are going to auction soon and what dates they’ll be at auction. Search on Zillow for Foreclosed Homes I mentioned that real estate agents have access to the MLS earlier. Think of Zillow as your MLS platform. Zillow allows you to screen for different properties based on different criteria you set. You can scroll the navigation menu and check different boxes if you want to set specific criteria. One criteria you can set is foreclosures. Check out this tutorial on how to use Zillow Search on Other Websites for Foreclosed Homes for Sale: There are several websites that focus solely on finding foreclosed homes for sale. These websites often require membership or payment but it will save you time. You can buy foreclosure lists from these websites and begin screening through the list to see if any of the properties meet your investing criteria. There are also some free websites that you may come across listing foreclosed homes for sale. These can include but not limited to: • Trulia • Realtors.com • Redfin • Loopnet Final Words on Foreclosure Investing Overall, as a real estate investor you are hunting for properties you can acquire at a discount to their true value. Start by looking at foreclosed homes that have sat awhile that nobody else wanted. Eventually the price will come down enough to where the numbers make sense as an investment. Run your financial calculations on each property you analyze and determine a target purchase price. Then make that offer to the bank even if it seems ridiculously low compared to the current listing price because you never know, they may accept your offer if they are desperate enough.

With wholesaling, your objective is to enter into purchase contracts at an attractive enough purchase price that you can assign your purchase contract to someone who is willing to pay you a premium to your contract purchase amount for the opportunity to purchase the property. Partnering: Partnering with an experienced fix/flip investor is a great way to learn the business with less risk. Your partner will likely want to share in any profits but the potential savings of avoiding snafus may be more than worth any shared profits. Fix and Flipping: The potential profits of going it alone and purchasing, repairing and reselling your own investment property are the greatest, but so are the potential risks. How to Obtain the Money to Flip Houses Do you want to start flipping houses but don’t know how you are going to access the money you need? Check out these options to find the cash to begin flipping houses: Home Equity Loan: You can utilize the equity in your primary residence to flip houses. If you don’t have enough equity in your home to purchase an investment property outright you can leverage your home equity into buying one, or more deals with a traditional or private money lender. Credit Cards: Be cautious when using this method because it’s easy to get over extended.

Those real estate investment managers best able to weather this storm will be those who are most innovative and best at adopting emerging technologies. While it is clear that the real estate investment management sector is at the beginning of a process of digital transition, there are many barriers inhibiting the widespread application of technology. This is most likely due to the lack of a regulatory framework and industry standards regarding the ownership and sharing of digital data, as well as a lack of knowledge of the available solutions.

  • Proptech 3.0: the Future of Real Estate
    University of Oxford Research PropTech 3.0: the future of real estate PROPTECH 3.0: THE FUTURE OF REAL ESTATE WWW.SBS.OXFORD.EDU PROPTECH 3.0: THE FUTURE OF REAL ESTATE PropTech 3.0: the future of real estate Right now, thousands of extremely clever people backed by billions of dollars of often expert investment are working very hard to change the way real estate is traded, used and operated. It would be surprising, to say the least, if this burst of activity – let’s call it PropTech 2.0 - does not lead to some significant change. No doubt many PropTech firms will fail and a lot of money will be lost, but there will be some very successful survivors who will in time have a radical impact on what has been a slow-moving, conservative industry. How, and where, will this happen? Underlying this huge capitalist and social endeavour is a clash of generations. Many of the startups are driven by, and aimed at, millennials, but they often look to babyboomers for money - and sometimes for advice. PropTech 2.0 is also engineering a much-needed boost to property market diversity. Unlike many traditional real estate businesses, PropTech is attracting a diversified pool of talent that has a strong female component, representation from different regions of the world and entrepreneurs from a highly diverse career and education background. Given the difference in background between the establishment and the drivers of the PropTech wave, it is not surprising that there is some disagreement about the level of disruption that PropTech 2.0 will create.

    Between We Buy Houses and We Buy Wholesale By: Cori R. Harvey Introduction he distressed residential real estate market has always depended upon the innovations of private, micro investors to reorganize the Thousing market and redistribute distressed properties for the benefit of homeowners, home buyers, and lenders alike. This Article asks whether recent trends in residential distressed real estate investing have created a new niche for operationally-sophisticated, yet small and nimble, private investors. Traditionally, small investors in the distressed market segmented themselves into pre-foreclosure investors, who found deals from dockets and We Buys Houses signs, and post-foreclosure investors, who bought properties at auction and from bank-owned REO Author inventories. These small, local investors have traditionally enjoyed the benefits of intimate Cori R.

  • Seven Tactics for Real Estate Bargaining a Data-Driven Approach to Negotiations for Home-Buyers
    Seven Tactics for Real Estate Bargaining A Data-Driven Approach to Negotiations for Home-Buyers July 2008 Introduction As the real estate market has swung in buyer's favor, more homebuyers are shopping for deals. Many are looking for under-priced homes. Their focus is on the property: its location, square footage and asking price. But the best deals may lie in over-priced homes, where the seller is more willing to negotiate. To identify these opportunities, one has to focus on the seller: how long he has been waiting for a buyer, what he has already invested in selling the property and how much he stands to gain from its sale. To evaluate sellers' willingness to bargain, Redfin analyzed the sales of 9,053 single- family houses in Los Angeles (California), Fairfax (Virginia) and King (Washington) counties between April 15, 2008 and June 15, 2008. While most homes sold within 3% of the asking price, a significant number sold for much less, more than 10% below the asking price. We thus divided the transactions into two groups, those that sold for a large discount (The Discount Group, comprised of sales where the discount off the final asking price was in the top ten percentile for that market) and those that didn't (The Rest). Then we compared the two. The difference in concessions was significant: the average discount for The Discount Group was 11.4% off the final asking price, whereas the average discount for The Rest was 1.5%. For a home listed at $500,000, The Discount Group would have saved $57,000 off the asking price, compared to The Rest's $7,500.
