  BEFORE CONSIDERING TO PURCHASE BANK OWNED PROPERTY
  YOU NEED TO CONSIDER SOME OF THE FOLLOWING THINGS
  
  
• ARE YOU READY TO CLOSE QUICKLY
• ARE YOU PREQUALIFIED OR A LOAN? (If not i can refer you to one of the best loan officers to ger a free prequalification)
• GOOD CREDIT IS USUALLY NECESSARY
• ARE YOU PREPARED TO BE ABLE TO DO COSMETICS OR OTHER REPAIRS? Some units are completely redone but to get the deals you will want to do it yourself.
• ARE YOU WILLING TO BUY A HOME AS IS. All bank owned homes are sold without any warranties, guaranties or such.
• Most banks upon gaining possession will pay to clean out a unit and do minor repairs or items to preserve the property. If you want to save money you can offer to do all the work. Some banks will agree and you can get a deal. But be known that once the offer is accepted all work on the property stops and you get it as you requested. AS IS

1. To have a prequalification letter or on cash deals a copy of your banks statement showing that amount in your account to include with your offer.
2. The ability to close within 30 days
3. Most banks will not accept any contingincies on a purchase and sales, Including home sale contingincies, inspections or fixing anything. Remeber it is sold as is.
4. Most will allow a home inspection ONLY for your peace of mind, they usually wont let you make the sale contingent upon a satisfactory inspection, although some will give you up to 7 days.
5. Be prepared that if the home is winterized, the buyer is responsible for paying to turn on the water and then pay to have it re-winterized upon completion. In most cases it is $200. If i am your agent i can often work a deal on this. Each case is different though.
6. If the utilities including electric and gas are off. You are responsible for paying to turn them on in your name to test them with prior permission from the bank. If you are purchasing it, it is usually not a problem as you will put them in your name anyway.
7. OIL AND PROPANE. The bank will not fill oil and propane tanks. If the property has oil or propane and teh tanks are empty, you will need to fill them if you want to test them.

Please note that these are only a few of the items to consider. Please do not rely wholely on this information as any buyer should do their own due diligence. Nothing written here is guaranteed. Each bank has their own way to do business. Please use it as a guide only. For specific information on any one property you are buying through me, just ask...

Winterization
Failure to properly winterize property is one of the most costly mistakes in the REO business. We understand this risk and contracts REO field professionals to service our properties. Our standard winterization includes:

• Draining all supply lines
• Plugging the main supply line
• Winterizing all drain line traps with antifreeze
• Use of forced air to remove standing water from supply lines
• Placard commodes, sinks, and front door

Securing
Our Field Agent will ensure your assets' doors and windows are secure to mitigate occurrence of forced entry by unauthorized parties. During the securing process, our agent will:

• Re-key the main door and secure a lock box for future entry
• Secure all doors and windows
• Placard the front door
• In the event that the integrity of any of the exterior doors or windows is breached, our agent will secure the breach by boarding

Personal Property Remediation
Upon initial order, we will properly discard all personal effects of the previous occupant(s). Items with a value in excess of $300 will be catalogued and stored for a specified period of time compliant with local ordinances. In the event that our agent uncovers any materials that may be toxic or considered hazardous, the items will be properly disposed of to limit negative exposure to the community as well as the environment.

Lawn/Snow Service
It is a common belief among REO professionals that a properly manicured lawn attracts more buyers, higher offers, and helps remove the stigma and inherent risk of being a vacant REO property. Our Field Agents will provide bi-monthly lawn service compliant with HUD requirements. Snow removal compliant with local ordinances can also be facilitated on a transactional basis as requested.
