Fnma Loans

Financing a distressed property is a relatively simple concept but the actual process is complex. It is important that a buyer only use a lender and loan officer that is experienced in processing these types of loans, otherwise it can add delays and a buyer could lose their earnest money deposit.

Most buyers generally acquire one property at a time. It is possible to acquire more than one property at a time. Properties can be acquired in bulk sales. To buy in bulk you need a large line of credit, typically in the $1 million plus range. Buyers are generally not allowed to cherry pick properties in a bulk sale; they have to take the good, bad, and the ugly. However there may be repurchase clauses in the contract if seller disclosure laws were violated.

When acquiring a foreclosure you should only work with a qualified Realtor that understands the process. If you don't, it can add to closing delays, contract negotiation errors, undisclosed property issues, and the buyer could lose their earnest money, or worse, a great deal.
