Half offer

Half offer

How likely would a bank be willing to accept an offer of half the asking price or even less than that i.e. $14,000 3/2 single family and you stipulate in the contract that they pay for all of your closing costs?

you may be surprised the bank may pay all of the closing costs if they want to get rid of the property fast. You just never know ! Good luck

Atlcamel,

A bank's motivation can change on a daily basis. Thus, feel to ask for more than you want and even include some give away items that you do not care about. Then as you negotiate with the bank both sides may give a little and it will be a win-win for both parties. Do not be afraid to ask, you never know what you may get! Good luck with your real estate investing. Believe and Achieve! Smiling - Joe

This is what I am doing

I have a Realtor sending me listings and I only look at homes that are already listed below fair market value. I think it is very hard to get an offer accepted when they are asking for too much already. I normally offer 50-70% of FMV , depeding on how attrative the house is .

FMV

How do you determine the FMV for foreclosure when what it sold for a few years ago is way out dated? And the comps are unique in of themselves.

Atlcamel,

You may want to have your realtor pull comps of home sales that are around the same size as the REO in the same area for the past 6 months. This should give you an idea of wha the market is doing in your local area. Then looking at the home determine what the fair market value (FMV) should be after repairs. Thus, take your puchase price + necessary repairs for a total. Say the purchase price might be $50k and repairs are $10k for a total of $60k (ARV). Then say you determine Fair market value (FMV) to be $110k. Thus this could be a good deal. You want enough profit margin in each deal. This will make it easier for you to assign a deal or close a deal and have a nice cash flow if you keep it as a rental property. I hope this helps. Good luck with REI and the properties on your radar. Believe and Achieve! Smiling - Joe

other ?

Do I use the listing agent (instead of hiring a buyer's agent) to do the comps and submit the offer to bank?
