Thinking
of Buying Foreclosure or Bank-Owned Property
in the Atlanta Metro Area? We Can Help.
House hunting can be a very daunting experience, especially in today's
ga foreclosure real estate market. Both investors and homebuyers have
been priced out of the market by escalating costs, and good real estate
deals are increasingly difficult to find.

who know where to look.

"For people willing to do some homework, the foreclosure market
offers some of the best opportunities in real estate today,"
explains Barry Britt, Principal and Managing Broker at REO Proformance
Systems of North Atlanta.

With interest rates ticking up and ARMs adjusting upward, experts
predict an increase in the number of foreclosure properties on the
market.
"Foreclosure properties can be a terrific investment, or give
homebuyers a much more affordable option than traditional properties,"
notes Britt. "But they're not a way to get rich quick, and a
foreclosure purchase needs to be approached in an educated, intelligent
manner."
REO Proformance Systems offers three tips to help you close a deal
on a foreclosure property.
| 1. |
Learn
about the different types of foreclosure properties, and the
foreclosure process.
There are three basic types of foreclosure properties,
representing different stages in the foreclosure process: notice-of-default
(NOD) and notice of trustee sale (NTS), which are both pre-foreclosure
properties; and real-estate-owned (REO), a foreclosure property
which has been re-purchased by the bank. |
 |
| 2. |
Secure
financing early. It's important for a buyer to be pre-qualified
before engaging in discussions with a seller.
This ensures that the buyer is in a financial position
to purchase the property, and is in the strongest possible position
to negotiate. It's best to work with a lender who understands
the foreclosure process, and can guide the buyer through certain
steps, such as ensuring that a property is FHA-compliant. Another
reason to consider pre-qualification is that not all lenders
finance foreclosure properties. Having approved financing in-hand
makes negotiations with both the seller and the lender easier,
and may even make it possible for the buyer to simply cure the
default and take over the existing loan to reduce loan processing
fees. |
