from: Foreclosure Loans Help Build Real Estate Fortunes
Once a person’s property goes into foreclosure, it will be difficult if not impossible for them to get a loan to save their property. However, this is how many other people make a profit. By finding properties in foreclosure and securing a loan before the auction they can bid on and win property based on the value of foreclosure loans.
Typically, properties sold at auction will be sold for at least 66 percent of its appraised value, and securing foreclosure loans for that amount should not be difficult, provided the borrower has a credit rating sufficient to obtain the loan. Since the foreclosure loans will be for less that the property’s value, the lender will see at least 30 percent of the value in equity once the sale is finalized, their potential for loss is minimized.
For example, a parcel of land valued to $30,000 is sold for $20,000, financed through foreclosure loans and the new owner use the $10,000 equity on a loan to build a new house. If the house costs $100,000 to build and it can be sold, with the land for $175,000 the builder can conceivably see a profit of $45,000 with no expenses coming out of his pocket. After three or four such deals, he can now buy the land, build the house without borrowing money and be on his way to riches.
Buying Before Auction May Be Cheaper
By watching the legal notices, a person can learn about homes in the early stages of foreclosure and approach the landowner about selling the property before it is repossessed for auction. Considering the equity in the land, the owner may be willing to sell for the balance owed to the lender, plus half the equity for example, allowing them to move out with a few dollars and their integrity. This type of purchase through foreclosure loans is generally easy as the lender does not have to go through the entire process and they are receiving what they are owed.
This sale can generally be accomplished much easier once the owner receives a demand for payment, which states the amount the lender wants to halt foreclosure proceedings. Faced with the bank wolves knocking on the door and the possibility of his name being ruined by a foreclosure, many are willing to give new buyers time too seek foreclosure loans in order to pay off the bank and walk away.
Not everyone can wait for approval of foreclosure loans and even though a pending sale is in the works, if the loan does not go through in time foreclosure will proceed and they have nothing to show for their efforts.
