Purchasing real estate or homes directly from the bank or lender is preferred by many real estate investors and home buyers because it can be a more predictable and less-emotional home purchase process than buying from the distressed seller who is facing foreclosure and may or may not go through (or be able to deliver title) with the transaction.
Learn How to Buy Foreclosures
First, most home buyers do not realize the first misconception - and it's a big one! Not every Bank Owned Property or REO is good deal. Many banks with property for sale in the North Los Angeles area seek to obtain market value for properties that they have foreclosed on in order to attempt to recoup as much of their losses against their loan balance as possible. Others lenders are more focused on liquidating REO Real Estate Owned - an Accounting Term for Banks) inventory as these properties represent non-performing assets have a severe negative impact on the lenders books and financial condition. We have extensive knowledge of the foreclosure market and have relationships with asset managers and REO bank officers -- knowledge which is very valuable to a home buyer or investor looking to pick up a foreclosure at a bargain price.

The foreclosure process for a Los Angeles homeowner is initiated when the lender files a Notice of Default, or NOD, with the County Recorder after a borrower defaults on their mortgage. The foreclosure process ends when:
Within the mandated grace period of 21 days, as determined by state law (the pre-foreclosure period), the homeowner (borrower) has several options
1). The homeowner pays the lender the amount needed to reinstate the loan, or
2). The home seller who has defaulted is able to sell to a buyer during the pre-foreclosure time period, at a price that will allow the borrower (home seller) to pay off the loan. A situation where the loan is greater than the sale amount, but the lender agrees to a loan pay off that is less than what is owed is referred to as a short sale, or short pay. or,
3) At the end of the pre-foreclosure period - 21 days, a trustee sale occurs on the 'courthouse steps' and the defaulted property is sold at a public auction to a third party, or
4) The lender (Bank) takes ownership of the property through an written agreement (deed-in-lieu agreement) with the homeowner (borrower) during the pre-foreclosure 21 day time period, or
5) The Bank (lender) buys the property at the trustee sale. if this occurs, the bank-owned property is referred to as a real estate owned asset, or REO.
