Should You Go Through a Real Estate Agent to Buy Foreclosed Property?

Purchasing foreclosed - also known as REO or bank owned - property seems like an opportunity that is too good to pass up for many prospective home buyers and investors.  However, while it is a home purchase, it is a very different transaction on many levels.  Therefore, utilizing the services of a real estate agent is highly recommended (especially for novices).  A realtor with experience in negotiating these purchases can be an invaluable ally and an excellent guide through what can be a very complicated process.
As most people know, once a home owner goes through the foreclosure process, the house is taken back by the lender - typically a bank - and put back on the market by the owner.  Banks currently have unprecedented inventories of REO properties, which is a drain on their bottom line.  Banks are not in the property management business, so they usually want to sell these homes as quickly as possible to get them off their books.
Traditionally, REO property was sold at very attractive prices,vibram five fingers, relative to comparable homes in the areas.  While this is still potentially the case with the current inventory, this is definitely a buyer beware scenario now.  Home values have dropped dramatically nationwide, so increasing numbers of home owners are walking away from properties that are "underwater" (home owners owe more than the home is worth).
Banks and other lenders want and need to at least recover the amount that was lent to the original home purchaser, so pricing on these homes is less likely to be a bargain.  Many of the home owners had little to no down payment when they purchased the home in the first place.   Because of the glut of homes on the market now, purchasing a REO home from a bank can be a very lengthy process. The consumer should count on at least 120 days from date of first offer, but it is not uncommon for an offer to go unanswered for 6 months or longer.
Real estate brokers who specialize in dealing with banks on foreclosed properties can help.  They often know the inside the bank people to contact, and understand when,nike shoes, where and how a purchase price can be negotiated.  Real estate is still a relationship game.  In addition your agent should be helping you avoid some of the pitfalls that an inexperienced home buyer makes, such as helping you research title and liens, and home inspections.
In most cases, REO properties are purchased "as is."  If there are liens against the property, such as unpaid taxes, you can inherit these liens as a buyer.  Make sure you real estate agent helps you uncover any legal issues that can cloud your title, if you decide to make a purchase.
Real estate agents usually advise buyers to get a home inspection, even on a new home,christian louboutin, before buying.   It is probably never more important than when buying this type of property.  However, again, buyer beware - homes sold at foreclosure auctions are rarely available for inspection prior to the auction.   Unlike the average home owner who has lived in the home and is aware of any problems it may have, banks are usually unaware of issues with plumbing, etc.  Therefore, they are not required to disclose anything prior to a sale.  This is definitely a case of "what you don't know can cost you dearly."
At the same time, lenders are even stricter than before with their requirements for home loans. If you need financing for your home purchase, it is wise to get pre-approved.  In some cases, especially with REO property, lending guidelines are bit more lenient (but don't count on that).   Homes with extensive damage,Polo ralph lauren, as is common with REO property, can be very difficult to finance outside of with the bank that owns that real estate.  This can put you at a disadvantage in regards to rates and fees.
Real estate brokers with established banking relationships will often be the first to know about new bank owned properties, even before they become available on the market.
As with any property purchase, it is up to you to do your own research.  However, it never hurts to have some help with someone knowledgeable about the process.  You will be competing for the best properties with investors who are very savvy.

So You Think a Foreclosure Doesn't Impact Your Credit Score?

There are many misconceptions about how credit scores work and what happens to yours if you miss a bill payment,christian louboutin, foreclose on your mortgage or short sale on your home. Some borrowers may think that because they never missed a payment, they can just walk away from their homes with relatively little or sometime even no impact on their personal credit scores. This is simply not so. Coming from experts, when a deed-in-lieu or short sale is reported as a partial payment, it's treated as a serious delinquency, just like a foreclosure.
Here are a few ways a mortgage borrower can lose their home: a foreclosure; a short sale, where the home is sold for less than is left owing on the home and the banks generally forgive the difference, or a deed-in-lieu, in which the borrower gives back the property and the bank again forgives any unpaid balance. Regardless of which method you have used to eliminate your mortgage,christian louboutin, generally credit bureaus will reflect the same penalty towards your credit score. The bottom line to the bank is that they report you paid less than the agreed amount on that settled account.
So even if, as a borrower, you made payments faithfully for years before short selling or doing a deed-in-lieu, your credit score will still have an enormous negative impact on it. Mortgage debt,ugg boots, combined with other financial problems, can send borrowers into bankruptcy, which is the worst thing that can happen to your credit score. So, since it's now common knowledge that any kind of delinquent behaviour towards your mortgage will cause your credit score to suffer, the question remains, how much?
Until recently, credit bureaus were reluctant to let consumers know how much of an impact these late and non-payments would have on their scores. Being as there are so many variables, it was, for the most part, very difficult to even begin to answer that question with any sort of accuracy. Now, however, it is possible to get an idea on how many points you will lose by the amount of days your payment is late, as well as by the means you use to get out of your mortgage early.
Fair Isaac, who developed FICO scores, released these numbers as an average go-by. If you are:  30 days late: 40 - 110 points; 90 days late: 70 - 135 points; a foreclosure, short sale or deed-in-lieu: 85 - 160 and a bankruptcy: 130 - 240.
If you are in danger of a mortgage foreclosure, or missing payments, speak to your lender before it's too late. Every situation is different,manolo blahnik, so find out the best option for your circumstances.

Home Improvement Ideas: Historical Paint Colors

Historical Paint Colors
Choosing colonial paint colors for your older home
What colors did people paint their homes 200 years ago?  The research can involve some work, but the results can be amazing and rewarding.  If historical accuracy is what you’re shooting for, a bit of research about the era your house is from, or is trying to look like it's from, will go a long way toward helping you choose historical colors that can be matched to many readily available, cost-effective, off-the-shelf paints.
Whether you're repainting a home built in the Colonial or Federal period,polo ralph lauren, or choosing paint colors suited to the Greek Revival,nike store, Victorian or Queen Anne eras for your new dwelling, you may prefer to paint your house in historically appropriate,ugg boots, rather than historically accurate, colors.
But does every historic house demand historical paint colors?  If you decide to paint your historical house with colors available from its era, here are three tips:
1. Historical colors should emulate or evoke local organic materials.
2. The colors should at least have a relationship to the era you are summoning up.
3. Be aware that if you live in a locally designated historic district, the local paint police (sometimes better known as the Historic Architecture Review Board) may limit your selection.
There are five easily identifiable periods of American architecture which respond well to historical paint color choices. Find your house style below and use this guide as a starting point for researching your painting project.
1. Colonial (mid-1600s to 1780): Original Colonial-style homes were usually one or two-story houses, two rooms deep with symmetrical windows. Earthy reds, indigos, ochre and burnt umber were popular and these organic pigments were easy to transform into oil-based paints.
2. Federal (1780 to 1830): This style is characterized by symmetry, lightness and delicacy. Creams, pumpkins, sage greens and muted blues characterized the style.
3. Greek Revival (1825 to 1855): Made from wood, these buildings are invariably painted white. Accent colors were rarely used but could include black, dark greens and gold.
4. Victorian (1840 to 1900): Multicolored walls, asymmetrical detailing and steeply pitched roofs are common features. Dark mulberries,vibram fivefingers, gingers, moss greens, brick reds and buffs were used in decoration.
5. Colonial Revival (1900 to 1940): Features commonly associated with the revival period are a balanced facade, front doorways with sidelights, multi-paned windows and gabled roofs. Mid-blues, grays and taupes define the style's palette.
