Boston Foreclosed Properties

Question: Why does Obama support $4 billion in funding for groups to buy foreclosed properties?

That's the only provision in the mortgage bailout that the White House opposes. Obviously it doesn't help anyone facing foreclosure, just the banks...and oh...the people who get the funding to buy the properties. This would be groups like ACORN.

Buying Foreclosure Property

Question: How do you make an offer on and buy a foreclosure property?

If the property is already bank-owned, do you make an offer to the bank the same way you would with a seller? I heard that if a property is already bank-owned, you can make outrageous low-ball offers on the property and that some banks would accept next to nothing to unload a foreclosed home. Is there any truth to this? or should i make the offer i would if I were dealing with the original seller?

Answer: First, you need to find out which real estate agency/broker is handling the sale of the property. Banks don't like to actively get involved in the sale. Find out how much they are asking and make an offer through the broker/agent. You can offer a lower amount but be prepared that there could be other potential buyers/investors who are in the running who might offer the exact amount that the bank wants or even a higher amount. In addition to that, bank owned properties require that your credit be sound and all your finances be in order to make the purchase. Banks don't have time for delays while you search endlessly for financing. Have your pre-approval letter ready, your down payment, a clean credit history and lots of patience as the banks tend to operate on their own schedule and it can be a very slow process until the purchase is complete. You should also ask your real estate broker about acquiring a home as a "short sale." This is where the bank may sell the house to you if you offer the amount that is owed to them. Currently, the market is very bad and there are a lot of houses fitting this status. Research, research, research and you'll benefit for doing so.

Edit: I also neglected to say that if you can make a cash offer, you will definitely be in a favorable position. As they say, "cash is king."
