Real Estate Owned

Many have been wanting to buy bank owned properties. One must be familiar of what REO (Real Estate Owned) means. This refers to a property that has gone through the foreclosure process but failed to find a buyer at the auction and thus, now owned by the bank or a government agency.

As one of the types of creative financing in real estate, a subject-to transaction enables a buyer to take title to property without obtaining one's own note.

Name the one thing you would advice to new comers

by MikeAustin on 01-14-2011 at 02:05 PM
I started a thread called " Name the one thing you would advice to new comers" and I requested everyone to share ONE pro and con for new comers in the real estate field. And I got this really cool response from Chrisopher Moltisanti. It's far from the "one thing" concept, but undoubtedly it's a great reply.

Way to go Chrisopher!
