REO refers to Real Estate Owned properties of the bank that went through the process of foreclosure.

A property becomes bank owned when it wasn't sold during foreclosure. The property is taken back by the bank and referred to this property as Real Estate Owned or REO.

The bank clears and prepares the title of the property and make it available for resale thru the help of real estate agents.

A property can be foreclosed due to the failure of the owner to pay the mortgage. After the foreclosure process, the bank can take back the property and calls it as Bank REO.

REO properties can be inspected by an interested buyer. However, these properties are sold in "As IS" condition and the bank will not shoulder any expenses for the repair or maintenance of the property.

Other people are worried buying REO properties for the fear that the previous owner would go to the property and cause problems. Legally, the previous owner has no right to cause the new owner of property any trouble.

REOs are a great investment as long as you have a clear understanding of what exactly it is that you are getting into. Simply put, the bank wants to dispose off these homes, and if you manage to find the right property and are prepared to make a serious investment, it can prove to be a great way to take your successful plunge into the real estate investment business.

Due to the increasing number of REO homes today, they aren't hard to find. As an investor, you need to inspect the property and assess the repair to be done in order to calculate if you can still profit after repairing the property. You need to make sure that the property is located within a good location in order to sell it faster.
