Kauai Real Estate prices range from single family homes as low as a few hundred thousand all the way up to mansions that go for several millions.   You can get into a condo for just under $200,000 if you buy at the right time and find the right deal.  Some of the best condos on the beach go for over a million each, so if you are interested in purchasing real estate in that range, you will find something that you fancy.

All in all, if you are trying to diversify your investment portfolio with a vacation rental or a vacation home, take a look at the beautiful island of Kauai, and you will find excellent opportunities.

Banks are basically giving away free home foreclosures, because just holding onto the property increases their risk and comes with carrying costs such as property taxes and insurance.  I took a look at some bank owned listings in the Detroit area and I found several hundred home foreclosures that were being sold with the asking price of one dollar.

Why are areas like this hit so hard?  Well, first off, housing prices around the entire country have dropped substantially.  Second, some areas experienced huge job losses and many people moved out of the area.  Take Detroit for example.  Because of the hit the auto industry took, they cut thousands of jobs, and thus thousands of people had to move out of the area to find work.  This creates a huge increase in vacancies, so now the number of available units far exceeds the number of people who are available to rent, buy or otherwise occupy these units.

When an area like this gets so depressed, it seems to snowball and continue getting out of hand.  Since there are so many properties available for sale and nobody wanting to jump into the housing market, sellers are having to under-cut each other’s prices just to make their properties more attractive and possibly even be able to sell them.  As the price for houses in good condition fall dramatically, the prices for houses in poor condition fall even harder.  If you can grab a house in decent condition for 15k, why would you buy a fixer upper for any price if it is going to cost you $20k to bring it up to a livable condition?

Since regular housing is already so cheap, the prices for properties in disrepair are hitting lows of, well free!  The market has become so depressed that the prices are bottoming out at zero.  Does this mean it is an absolute bottom, or can prices go below free?

So, if someone tells you that they picked up a free home foreclosure, or a property for only a few hundred bucks, be wary.  It might end up costing them money to unload the property!

Some trial offers require that you pay a few bucks or only give you limited access to the entire site.  Realty Store is so confident that you will save thousands from their service that they are offering you full access to their entire database of foreclosures for a full week for free.

If you are even considering purchasing a new home or investing in a foreclosure, sign up for a quick free trial with Realty Store, and start browsing through thousands of discount properties in your area!

Fannie Mae foreclosure listing is one of the largest foreclosure listings available today. Thousands and thousands of people went through the Fannie Mae system to get their loans years ago and now cannot afford the payments on their homes so they have been foreclosed on. The Fannie Mae Corporation wants to sell these homes because they are sitting empty and not making them any money. That’s where you come in. You go to the Fannie Mae foreclosure listings on the Internet, put in your state and city and price range and you will soon have a list of the Fannie Mae foreclosure’s in that area to choose from. These houses cost less than what they did years ago because the Fannie Mae Corporation needs to sell them so it’s a buyers market in the foreclosures houses for sale.

The Fannie Mae foreclosure listing will help you determine how much you can afford to pay on a monthly basis with their interactive income and assets calculator. This will allow you to determine how much of the house you can afford in which area and for how much. You can even determine what school district you would like to live in if you have children.

When you’re in the market for a house, make sure the first place you go is the Fannie Mae foreclosure listing either in the newspaper or on the Internet because of foreclosure house is more reasonably priced than a regular house for sale. This is because a foreclosure house needs to be sold faster than a regular house for sale, because the houses than sitting empty with no one paying the mortgage probably for a long time and so the bank is willing to deal. And when that happens you will get a fair price, a reasonable price, on a foreclosed home in the neighborhood you want, near the school you want and it’s a win-win situation for everyone

What other options do investors have? Well, in today’s market, more and more realtors are marketing properties as short sales in the MLS. While these do represent preforeclosure opportunities, I also think that this can be risky for the investor because many real estate agents are pretty new to the foreclosure world (and thus may just be learning what is a short sale) and you are taking a chance that the agent in charge of the deal actually knows what they are doing. Plus, you still have the emotional aspect of the sale, a natural by-product of foreclosures that can complicate deals in some cases.
A significant but often overlooked option available to investors concerns bank foreclosures. This umbrella term includes REO properties and HUD homes but it all ties in with the REO process, the phase of foreclosure that follows the auction and where a lender must then sell the foreclosures in their inventory.

Many investors shy away from REO properties or HUD homes because they feel they have less negotiating power or simply lack the capital to make aggressive offers and play along with the rules that REO lenders stipulate. While I favor preforeclosure and short sales myself, I also have a system in place that allows the machine to run on autopilot, a system that I can also teach you.
My efforts here are to assure you that there are indeed deals to be found within the realm of REO properties. The offer process in many ways is less complicated, there is little to no emotion on the part of the seller (the REO lender), and deals can be completed much more quickly. If that appeals to you, and capital is your primary limitation, then you owe it to yourself to check out my Preforeclosure Cash Flow System and the module within it that covers how to obtain unlimited amounts of capital for your foreclosure business.
In closing, the entirety of the foreclosure process is ripe with deals that are there for the picking. As rigid as REO properties or HUD homes may seem, the REO process is as much as part of foreclosures as the preforeclosure side of the business. Don’t limit your scope, learn from what I have to offer you, and I wish you the very best in success in real estate investing.

Once foreclosure listings are listed on special Web sites that are contracted to the government almost anybody can buy one, providing they can either afford it or qualify for a sufficient loan. The government often sells some of those properties at reduced prices. Although people buying the house to live in have priority, eventually anybody can purchase hud foreclosures. The buying process is done via foreclosure auctions.

Housing websites, not to be confused with HUD, are different for each state. You can find a list of houses available and details and information on every house. The details usually include the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, cost, list date, priority and bid deadline. Picture of the houses are also displayed. After going through the information on a house that interests you, you can have a look at it by a personal visit.

HUD houses come in all shapes and prices. When these foreclosure properties appear on the list for sale, their valuation is carried out on ‘as is’ condition and listed at estimated market prices. However, it is common to find them costing less than other houses would be. The reason is the prices take into account the cost of needed repair as very often these houses will require at least some repair work.

It is a matter of personal judgment but still people will give you differing advice on weather you want to turn the property around without fixing repairs, you may do that; however, you might find that if you can repair the house fully without too much expense, you might reap better profits if you repair first. So once you have bought your property, it is best to get it inspected to check for any and all repairs.

Listing your foreclosure property means you may now come up with a substantial profit. The price of hud foreclosures can often be lower, meaning there are good opportunities to be found in the market.

Many people have made millions in real estate over the years. How can you make some of that money? Foreclosures provide a low-cost way into real estate. When foreclosures occur on government-financed property, the government takes over. Often, it wants to sell quickly. Foreclosure listings are often for sale more cheaply than other comparable properties. Government foreclosures may require some repair, but that is factored into the price listed. Ensure that any property you buy is inspected before you buy it; proper repairs can be worth much more than they cost.

It’s also wise to do some of your own research on local REOs (bank-owned property), whether it be via REO web sites, the local multilist (Realtor.com), or any other resources you can find.

Some Realtors are competent in dealing with REOs and will readily show you any listing, and some are not so competent. Some Realtors become reluctant to show very cheap houses, since the commissions are so low. It is critical that you find a Realtor who will show you EVERY house that might be suitable, no matter how cheap. Some Realtors also become reluctant to show some REOs because the lenders pay only a low commission, and they could receive a higher commission if they show a different house.

This sort of selective marketing by your Realtor will work against you at every step of the way. You need to be sure that the Realtor you work with understands up front that they have to show you everything that meets your guidelines, no matter how cheap. Let them know that you will be a repeat customer, so anything they don’t make on one transaction should be compensated for over time.

Some Realtors, even when they belong to the multilist, are reluctant to show the listings of other Realtors, since they don’t want to split their commissions. Working with this sort of Realtor is usually a waste of time, since their potential inventory is usually quite small.

When the REO market gets into high gear and a majority of houses sold are REOs in some areas, the conventional Realtor will either have to change or get out of the way. You should be sure to work only with a Realtor who has successfully adapted to the changed market. Many Realtors also don’t like to show properties which are very rough or in bad areas, but again, you have to see these places, since there are bargains buried among them. Sometimes the worst looking (but still well built) property is the best deal. This coming market will be so different from what the average Realtor has grown accustomed to that most conventional Realtors won’t learn how to operate successfully until several years have passed.

General Strategies

Two of the best sources of REO bargains, once foreclosures become more numerous, are new listings and price reductions.

Some lenders will begin at a low price to sell a property quickly, so some buried treasure can be found in the new listings.

Price reductions can also be a source of potential bargains. If a property has sat on the market too long, some lenders will slash the price quite a bit to move it, depending on circumstances.

Ask your Realtor to send you a daily or weekly list of price reductions and new listings in the areas that you are interested in, especially after the foreclosure activity picks up in your area. You need current information on these so you can be first in line for the real bargains.

As times goes on and the REO inventory mounts, it will become more and more of a numbers game. You won’t get all the places you make offers on, but you should get enough to make things work. Don’t get hung up on the places you miss, just keep in the game and look for the next one.

Be sure your Realtor has time to submit offers in a timely manner. A day or two in delay can cause you to lose a lot of good deals. Your deals will probably be smaller than their usual business (lower prices equals lower commissions) so it’s critical that your Realtor is service oriented, with an eye toward a long working relationship with you, rather than just how much money they can make on any one deal.

By the same token, be a good client, make solid offers, don’t waste your Realtor’s time, and do what you say you are going to do.

One thing that will help you above almost all else is the ability to size up a property quickly, to know if it meets your criteria. Work on this and learn how to quickly eliminate from consideration any properties that are unsuitable. When you do meet your Realtor, you’ll be able to walk through a place and know immediately whether you want to make an offer on it. This will save a lot of time on everybody’s part, and a lot more bargains will come your way.
