Homes Foreclosed In California

Question: How do I buy a foreclosed home?

My boyfriend and I are going to be moving back to California soon and we were looking to buy a foreclosed home. We don't have any money saved but we've heard that you can buy foreclosed homes with no down payment. You just take over the payments on it. Is this true? If not, can you tell us how to go about buying one?

Answer: You heard incorrectly.
You have to get a mortgage and the lowest downpayment you can do right now is with FHA financing and if I am being totally honest, foreclosures are HARD to get approved by FHA. I am going through it right now and its been a CHORE...lots of work and time invested but its working in the long run. FHA has strict rules about the condition of the house so if there are problems with the house they could flag it and your financing would fall apart. Conventional mortgages right now require 10% down which sounds way out of reach for the two of you.

Answer: Contact a real estate agent that you would use as a buyer's agent. This does not cost you anything. And, when the sale is completed, your agent is paid by the seller (the bank foreclosing). So, you have everything to gain and nothing to lose by securing an agent.

Your agent will have access to the multiple listing service (MLS) and can start searching for homes for you. The MLS contains all types of transactions and can be filtered by foreclosures in a certain area. Your agent can then e-mail the listings to you as a clickable list. You can then go through the listings and see if any of them interest you.

Your agent will also have access to confidential supplemental listing information via the MLS, as well as links to mortgage and tax history on the property. This can be very helpful to you when trying to determine an offer amount. Your agent can also show you properties that you're interested in. And, having an agent prepare and submit your offer can make the difference in whether the banks even read it. Sometimes they have strange requirements for submitting offers and, if anything is slightly wrong, they just reject it out-of-hand.
