Unfortunately, Tucson bank owned homes are here to stay. While the ill-fated have lost their homes and credit scores, the timely are taking advantage of low priced foreclosures and short sales.
Foreclosures and short sales can be cost saving compared to a traditional re-sale home or new build, but there are a few items that should be noted:
1. Are there appliances, fixtures, interior or exterior damage to the property?
* If so, these items will need attention that could be expensive.
2. Always order an inspection on the property.
* We always recommend that a home inspection be done on any property, whether it be a foreclosure, short sale, new build, or a traditional re-sale.
3. Are there existing liens on the property?
* Sometimes on a foreclosure or short sale, the bank or investor will request that the liens on the property be paid by the buyer.
Before you offer into a bank owned property contract, such as a foreclosure or a short sale contract, make sure that the comparable homes (comps) that are not foreclosures or short sales are selling well above what your offer is. Otherwise, your "good deal" could end up costing you more than what you bargained for after all is said and done.
