Banks Paying More Attention to REO properties

We have noticed that more and more REO properties are being fixed up by the bank. Over the past 6 months 70% of all sales have been REO properties so those properties were probably in better shape than what is left. We have been doing REO tours over the past 3 weeks and we have seen a ton of properties in bad shape with DOM stats ranging in the high 7 months plus.
So we have seen crews in condos and single family homes putting low grade carpet and paint which is just enough to get it sold.

A good sign the market is turning and banks have adjusted to the market. Their adjustment was like making a u-turn in a aircraft carrier which dosent turn on a dime. Good news all in all.

Tax Relief for Short Sales

The mortgage forgiveness debt relief act of 2007 aims to assist debt relief for taxpayers from income debt on their principal residence up to 2 million dollars to help homeowners who are facing forclosure or short sale. For more info go to http://www.irs.gov/

Foreclosure Website Showcasing Listings

We all have heard there are a ton of foreclosures in Las Vegas spuring a host of foreclosure services from bus tours to specialzed agents. It is truly like panning for gold when searching for a foreclosure.

Sure the home home is going for $100k or more less than other listed properties in the same area BUT you have to consider cash out of pocket to get the property either rent ready or livable.

We have seen some pools that could double for Loch Ness meaning there is some serious work needed to be functional. Some of the foreclosures are picked clean. The former owners or tenants have removed all of the appliances, fixtures, celing fans, lighting and in some cases the carpet and pad.

Be aware and don't settle for something because its cheap.

One of the biggest problems is there are no photos online to compare apples to apples. This is why we have started
TourLVForeclosures.com , a Website dedicated to giving you photos and video of foreclosures in Las Vegas. We are starting with Summerlin specifically and moving from hotspot to hotspot in Vegas. Check it out today!
