When a homeowner is unable to make their mortgage payments, their house will be put up for auction by the bank. If the auction doesn't successfully land a buyer, then the house will become a real estate owned property (also called an "REO" or "bank-owned home"), and will be listed for sale by the bank. Because the bank is eager to recoup their money, buyers can sometimes find great bargains and investment properties among the list of bank-owned homes for sale.

Doing renovations on a home is the perfect opportunity to make it the home of your dreams. Work around the already amazing frame of the home to create custom living spaces that suit your needs and preferences.
You may have heard that when you’re wanting to renovate a home, you should look for the least expensive house in the best location. This can easily be done when you’re searching through foreclosed and bank-owned homes as many of them are listed for bargain prices in amazing areas.
When a bank repossesses a home due to the owner not paying their mortgage, the home goes into the foreclosure process--this is when the lender tries to sell the home to retrieve the money they loaned out.
The lenders first attempt at selling the home is through an auction. During the period of the auction, buyers can contact a real estate agent to arrange a showing. When going through the home, consider if it’s right for you. Hire a professional to do an inspection to help you determine the condition of the home.
When you decide that this home meets all your requirements, prepare a bid with your real estate agent. For the auction, the lender sets a minimum price they will accept for the home, plus the legal costs of foreclosing, so be sure to bid competitively. If you give the highest bid that satisfies the lenders monetary conditions, then the home is yours!
Manytimes, though, auctions don’t go as smoothly as this. When nobody bids the minimum amount, the home then becomes an REO or a bank-owned home. While the home is bank-owned, the lender must pay the property taxes and upkeep. Lenders, though, are not interested in paying these fees because their business is lending, not property management. Oftentimes banks are eager to sell the home, even for a bargain price.
Foreclosed and bank-owned homes are sold “as is,” so negotiating a lower price for the cost of repairs can be difficult. But, with the money you save from buying on discount, you can put the extra dollars towards repairs and renovations, which ultimately gives you a home custom to your wants and needs.
When you buy a foreclosed or bank-owned home, be sure to contact a real estate agent who specializes in this area. An agent can help you identify the best deals and can determine if list prices are negotiable.
