Mission Viejo Bank Foreclosures ( REO)

The terms "foreclosure," "bank-owned property" and "REO" are used interchangeably these days.
Technically, a "foreclosure" is the process where the bank or lender goes through while the borrower stops making payments on the mortgage of their home. You can find a list of foreclosure homes in Mission Viejo, which may likely become ' REO ' or real estate owned. Basically when the home gets foreclosed on, and the borrowers get evicted, the home goes to auction and the bank buys it back. The home becomes bank owned then. The list of homes provided above, are already 'owned' by the bank. Those homes already went through the foreclosure process and are ready to be sold by the bank, as they are on the market as REO's.

When Buying A Mission Viejo Bank Owned or Foreclosure Home remember:

• Even when banks seem to be pricing properties to induce multiple offers, there are some that are way over priced. Or get overbid, and at the end will have a purchase price higher than the 'market' value. Get an understanding of what is happening with home prices in Mission Viejo. Not all foreclosures are a bargain.
• Even when no inspection might be necessary, we always recommend buyer's to conduct an inspection
• Be aware of Title, make sure of a clear one. No one wants surprises of unpaid liens after closing.
• Make sure to have enough cash budgeted for closing costs, fees and unexpected repairs. A common mistake overlooked is under-estimating the cost of repairs. A large portion of foreclosed properties require decent repairs. Before you write the offer, get a solid idea of what needs priority repairs. Some items might be able to wait until you get settled in. But you might want to make sure appliances are in proper working condition along with other major mechanicals.
• Ask questions! You need to know about all relevant permits, past due association assessments or dues.
