Hi everyone. This is your Tampa Realtor Lance Mohr and in this video I want to
[3]
talk about bank owned homes. What you need to know and understand when you buy
[8]
a bank-owned home and some tips to give you so you don't get hurt or taken to
[13]
the bank when buying a bank-owned home so that's what I'm going to go over in
[17]
the short video if you're like a lot of people you're looking at bank owned
[28]
homes for sale because you think they're gonna be cheap you think they're gonna
[31]
be a good thing to buy and you know that may have been true in the past it's not
[35]
as true now so let me just go over how the process
[40]
works in with banks because a lot of times people think they work very
[44]
similar as a short sale and that's not the case short sales or trainwreck
[50]
they're they're horrible bank owned property it's not as bad because when a
[54]
bank takes the home back and it's actually been foreclosed on so it's not
[59]
a foreclosure it's been foreclosed it's a bank owned now some people call those
[64]
re owes which stand for real estate out and it's not such a bad thing so they're
[69]
gonna they're gonna go out there and they're when I say them they're gonna
[72]
have a real estate agent go out there and take a look at the property they're
[76]
gonna get an estimate from the reorder of everything that needs to be done
[79]
they'll probably send an appraiser out there and get an appraisal on the
[84]
property the realtor will probably do a BPO which is a broker price opinion then
[89]
they could even bring people out there like a roofer or other people
[93]
electrician if there's something wrong with the home to take a look at it so
[97]
they really know what they're dealing with now the one thing about bank owns
[101]
they're not about disclosure they basically even though the law the
[105]
Florida law not an attorney you wanna get legal advice but the world枚 law
[109]
states that if there's something that would affect the value of the property
[113]
this owner which would be at the bank or whomever has to disclose that either in
[119]
writing or verbally and if the owner doesn't want to do it the realtor does
[122]
but unfortunately the real orders bread is buttered by the bank and a lot of
[128]
Realtors don't care about disclosure in this case I know it's sad but true
[133]
so you want to definitely get your ducks in a row if you're thinking about buying
[137]
a bank owned property but let me just sort of walk through the process you
[141]
like a bank owned home you make an offer on it
[144]
it's usually going to take the bank about two to five days to come back and
[149]
either agree to your offer or give you a counteroffer one thing you have to
[152]
understand when you buy a bank owned home these are not individuals who own
[158]
the home this is a corporation yes they want to get the home off their books and
[163]
a lot of times the the asset manager or the person who's the who's handling the
[170]
bank drop the property for the bank is paid bonuses to sell it within 30 days
[175]
but yeah one thing you have to keep in mind in we right now are in a seller's
[181]
market so this is important a lot of these bank owned properties are
[185]
overpriced I know it sounds weird because when you think of a bank owned
[190]
home you think good deal but that's not always the case so have your real estate
[195]
agent or have whomever if you have a real estate agent do a market analysis
[201]
make sure it's worth it you'll probably know by looking at other homes so let's
[206]
say it is you make an offer on it it's going to take them a couple days to get
[210]
back to you and then what they're going to do is once they agree and you have
[214]
everything squared away as far as verbally they're going to ask you to
[218]
deposit the earnest money or some states call it hand money into the with the
[224]
title company or the attorney now in Florida
[227]
thank goodness a lot of them aren't using two attorneys anymore because it's
[230]
just so much easier with title companies and they don't take advantage of you
[234]
with all these crazy fees so that's the good thing so they'll go ahead and
[239]
consider it sold it won't be changed in the mls until they actually have an
[244]
executed contract but they're not going to take another offer and kick you to
[249]
the curb once they say it's done the agents supposed to and they pretty much
[254]
always do this we'll just tell potential buyers I'm sorry
[259]
but it already has an offer on it you could submit a backup if you will and
[262]
then usually what will happened about a week
[265]
after that some cases it could be two weeks you'll get everything in writing
[269]
but you're going to be expected to put down your earnest money and do all your
[275]
inspections and the bank usually tightens up those inspections so where
[280]
are state contract in Florida states 15 days for inspections they could tighten
[285]
it up to ten or seven most of the banks are ten some of them are actually seven
[291]
days for an inspection the one difference between the aciss contracts
[295]
with a bank opposed to an individual seller is with an individual seller it's
[301]
it it's announces contract but now they have wiggle room if there's something
[307]
wrong with a home they'll generally fix it banks not the case they don't want to
[311]
fix anything now there are some cases where they will get it fixed if it's
[316]
gonna if it's going to be a problem with the lender on closing so you know if
[322]
there's say an issue with the roof maybe there's a roof issue there's a little
[327]
league yeah they may go out and fix that because they know they'll not be they
[331]
won't be able to sell it to a buyer and get the most amount of money but then
[335]
some banks don't care though they'll know there's a roof leak they won't they
[339]
disclose it there's a roof leak their agent won't disclose if there's a roof
[342]
leak you can't tell there's a roof leak then your inspector goes out there finds
[346]
a roof leak you just spent money for an inspection you order the appraisal and
[351]
boom you know you can't get the home because there's an active roof leak in
[355]
the building that paint won't fix it so there is a certain amount of liability
[359]
with banks but overall again they're nothing like short sales I don't think
[364]
they're as good as dealing what they're with the regular individual who's
[370]
selling their homes because I've always said with banks you take out all common
[375]
sense all logic and you're left with a bank and unfortunately that's the way it
[379]
is but there are some that are good deals because at the end of the day they
[384]
don't really do any advertising some of them will fix the home up and some of
[389]
them will just leave it the way it is and they're like hey you know what we
[393]
just want to sell it we don't want anything to do with it
[396]
is the price and you know you're gonna get the home but don't be fooled these
[401]
days in the seller's market by thinking banks are all given away great deals
[405]
because that isn't necessarily the case at least not in our market I see banks
[411]
that are continually doing price drops out there so do your due diligence get a
[416]
real estate agent that knows and understands and most importantly that
[421]
his sold bank owned properties if not dozens of bank owned homes so though
[426]
understand the whole process a little bit better now I'll let you know one
[430]
important tip and this is a money tip here so pay attention to this with
[434]
almost all banks out there they will pay the owners title policy which is sort of
[440]
normal on a pre-owned town but they are not going to pay the docs stamps so you
[446]
need to budget that in there if for those of you that are outside of Florida
[450]
you probably call them intangible taxes so in the state of Florida you better
[455]
budget seven dollars per thousand for the stamps so just understand that if
[461]
you have a realtor that doesn't understand bank owned properties they're
[464]
not going to know to ask these questions I always when working with a bank always
[469]
ask these questions upfront to confirm they're going to pay the owners title
[473]
policy which in Florida is five dollars per thousand plus seventy five dollars
[477]
and that their and if they're paying the doc stamps because they pretty much will
[481]
always pay the title insurance but not the doc stamps so I hope this helps if
