Buying Foreclosure Property
By John Appleseed, Fri Dec 9th

Every investor who wants to buy a home has the soleobjective of optimizing the value of the property. Usually,investors go about this by buying out the equity from thehomeowner. This act relieves the owner of payment problems andalso allows the investor to obtain equity in the property. Thismethod is called "subject to" purchase, which implies that thecurrent financing is maintained, with your purchase "subject to"that financing.

Evaluating properties

One key point to note in the assessment of an offer is that youshould match your profit margin against the owner's net equityand not the gross equity. For instance, if a homeowner has aproperty valued at $100,000 that requires $5,000 worth ofrepairs to obtain that $100,000 value, and has $75,000 loan due(including 2 past due payments), how much equity is left in theproperty? Clearly, there is only $10,400 left. This valuebecomes so, because after deducting $6,000 sales commission,realtor charges of 6%, $1,500 closing costs upon resale andclosing fee ______continued.

A real estate who wants to buy a home should be waryof the net value of a property. For this reason it is a usefulthing to do a thorough analysis of all the factors impacting onprofits including an accurate assessment of rehabilitation aftersale.

Assessing offers

An investor who wants to buy home will find itprudent to give a homeowner a 50% net equity offer. Althoughthis percentage might not sound as a lot of money, it is a fairoffer looking at our example in which the total net value of theproperty is actually $10,400. A property may be valued at$100,000 but that value does not take into account fees andcosts of rehabilitation. A homeowner will find this offerattractive as it will be a better option than losing everythingif the property enters into a foreclosure. Again, it relieveshim of so many negative encumbrances associated with servicingthe process and avoiding a blemish to his credithistory.
