There are many types of sales that can be categorised as a “foreclosure sale”

Real Estate Owned (REO) Foreclosures

When a property is said to be under “REO foreclosure”, it means that the property owner has already defaulted on the mortgage. In many instances, home owners are forced into REO foreclosures when they are foreced to find a buyer themselves. As a result, the homeowner (not to mortgagee) will put up the property for sale.

Bank Mortgagee in Possession

This type of foreclosure occurs when a homeowner defaults on the mortgage they received through a bank. In these instances, the homeowner can no longer meet the terms of the mortgage and the bank takes ownership. The bank will list the property for sale to get back some of the money they lent to homeowners.

What is the Benefits-Risks Analysis ?

One of the main attractive of real estate is that it provides a tangible asset while giving you a chance to build your wealth through appreciating property values. There may also be taxation benefits available depending on your area. Like any other investments, there are some important considerations you need to look into. These include legal fees, stamp duty, loan establishment fees, holding costs, interest expense vs. income expectations, and the possibility that the property may be left vacant for certain periods.

What is Negative Gearing ?

Most people who purchase an investment property usually expect to rent it out. It is said to be “negatively geared” when the income derived from it is less than the deductions you can claim. “Deductions”, in this instance, are the expenses related to getting that rental income which include the interest payment on the investment, taxes on the property, maintenance fees, and the insurance. Any loss can be claimed as a deduction on other types of income such as business or salary. Do take note that the certain costs such as stamp duty, legal costs, conveyance, and the purchase cost cannot be deducted from other income sources. The cost of repairs might also be excluded.

Is there Taxation ?

It is important to understand what deductions you can and cannot claim. Another aspect to consider is the capital gains tax which will be incurred if you decide to sell the property. Speak to your accountant to estimate how much this will cost. Visiting the Australian Tax Office website may also be helpful. In general, remember to: Keep records to show your income, deductions, and proof to show ownership of the property for at least five years. Keep personal and investment borrowing separate. By keeping the loan separate, it becomes easier to calculate the deductible interest.

What is a Mortgagee Foreclosure ?

Foreclosure is the process in which the lender gets a legal termination of the mortgagor’s equitable right to redemption over a property. The process can proceed either through a court order or by an operation of law. To understand foreclosure, it is important to have a basic idea how mortgages work. Basically, the lender needs to get a security interest from the home buyer who pledges his asset as collateral to secure the bank loan. If the borrower defaults on the payment, the lender may have the right to repossess the property in question.

Mistakes to Avoid - Insufficient Research ?

Some people buy to become a homeowner, others want to be a landlord, a real estate flipper, or simply wait it out for the property to appreciate before cashing in on it. Whatever the case, there are some questions you need to ask including the following:

Is the property in located in a flood zone? Is it vulnerable to termite problems?

Is the property located near a commercial area and will construction occur in the near future?

What must be replaced in the property?

Why does the homeowner want to sell?

It is important to have financial flexibility to allow you to deal with rate increases if it does occur. In some cases, you may be able to convert to a fixed-price mortgage after a certain period.

Mistakes to Avoid - Overpaying ?

Finding the right property is difficult, time-consuming, and stressful. So when a buyer finds a property that meets his specifications, his first instinct might be to get the seller to select his bid. Fight this urge because many make the mistake of overbidding on some properties. Do more research on the property values in the area and take the condition of the house into account. As a fallback, ask for valuation from a real estate expert and look at the rates of comparable homes in the local newspaper.
