Foreclosed Lots For Sale

Question: Should I buy a shortsale property? What are the advantages and disadvantages?

A lot of properties that are up for sale are mostly short sale, foreclosed, or bank repo's, but it is a good idea to buy one these of properties?

Answer: There is a huge difference between a short sale and an REO property. An REO is a property that was foreclosed and is now owned by the lender. Buying an REO is not really any different from an "ordinary" sale. A short sale, on the other hand, involves a distressed owner trying to get his/her lender to agree to a sale for less than what they owe - a very difficult and protracted process.

Question: real estate advice, renting a pre foreclosed upon home?

I need help... We are in the state of Florida and have been served with pre foreclosure papers as John and Jane Doe, tenants. Our landlord has given us a song and dance and has told us that he will hold us to the end of our lease, being July 1, and he feels there "should" be enough time. I have a high school Jr. and Sr. I would like to move out. What are my rights? We have been relocated due to a military move and really need to stay in the area. We have spoken with the bank as well as the attorney for the bank and were told that the landlord did not reply within the twenty days. They were up last month. The bank said they are simply waiting on a court date. I honestly can not live like this and find it hard to believe that the landlord has so many rights. I have always paid my rent, I just want out of this situation. I own a home in NC with tenants and could not imagine placing them in this situation.

Answer: Yes, the landlord can hold you to the original rental agreement as long as he is the owner of the house. I know it's tough, but you should stay as long as you can. Make sure you give the correct notice to the landlord that you will be moving out the first day the lease expires. Then about two months prior, start looking for a new place. You should be able to sign an agreement one month early for a move-in date of July 1. So really, you just have to wait until 1 April to start looking and planning your next move. If necessary, try to find an apartment in the area so your kids can stay at their school. Hang in there! The banks take lots of time to go through all their paperwork, so you should be okay.

Question: Repairs on foreclosed home purchase?

We are about to buy a foreclosed home in a good area of Chicago for about $80,000. What would be the best way to pay for those repairs and invest in this property so that we can live in it in a couple months?
We have the time to work on it, I was just wondering about what ways we can go about getting money to repair it... loans-wise.

Answer: Look into getting a 203k loan, also called the FHA rehab loan. You borrow the money needed to make the repairs and pay back the extra money with the mortgage.
