Can you flip a foreclosed home?
If you’re buying a foreclosure to flip and make a profit, you will have to make the entire process move quickly. Once you close on the house, you will have to have your contractors lined up and ready to get to work immediately.
Are banks willing to negotiate on foreclosures?
Banks are willing to negotiate foreclosures because they are losing money on the property when it sits vacant. Banks can negotiate directly with buyers without the assistance of a real estate agent. Because they own the property, banks can set the price for any value they deem acceptable.
Is it wise to buy foreclosure homes?
The main benefit of purchasing a foreclosed home is savings. Depending on market conditions, you can purchase a foreclosed home for considerably less than you’d pay for comparable, non-foreclosed homes. The main risks come from the degree to which a foreclosed property can be a mystery to the buyer.
Do you have to have cash to buy a foreclosed home?
Foreclosed properties can only be purchased with cash. On average, approximately 60% of our foreclosed homes purchased are financed. You can finance many REO properties through Wells Fargo or a lender of your choice.
Are foreclosure auctions a good deal?
The Bottom Line Foreclosed homes may be financially appealing, but there are many obstacles to consider before buying. Also, just because a home is for sale at auction does not mean that you’ll be able to get it at a good price (or that the home is a good deal at any price—it could be a money pit).
How long does it take to buy a pre foreclosed home?
30-60 days
Is pre foreclosure the same as short sale?

How long does short sale stay on credit report?
seven years
How long does a short sale take to close?
Once an offer is received and signed, I send it to the bank, along with the seller’s short sale package and a prepared HUD. From that point to the time of short sale approval, the average timeline is about 60 to 90 days. It means 30 days to sell + 60 days for approval + 30 days to close escrow = 4 months, on average.
Do you owe money after a short sale?
In California, you can only do so after a short sale, but remain liable for the debts after a foreclosure sale. Thus, deficiency judgments, or these debts you may still owe after your home was sold, can usually be discharged in bankruptcy.
How long do you have to buy back a shorted stock?
There are no set rules regarding how long a short sale can last before being closed out. The lender of the shorted shares can request that the shares be returned by the investor at any time, with minimal notice, but this rarely happens in practice so long as the short seller keeps paying its margin interest.
