Banks Paying More Attention to REO properties

We have noticed that more and more REO properties are being fixed up by the bank. Over the past 6 months 70% of all sales have been REO properties so those properties were probably in better shape than what is left. We have been doing REO tours over the past 3 weeks and we have seen a ton of properties in bad shape with DOM stats ranging in the high 7 months plus.
So we have seen crews in condos and single family homes putting low grade carpet and paint which is just enough to get it sold.

A good sign the market is turning and banks have adjusted to the market. Their adjustment was like making a u-turn in a aircraft carrier which dosent turn on a dime. Good news all in all.

Where to watch NFL Games in Las Vegas

NFL FOOTBALL: LINE UP FOR A NEW SEASON

Local bars compete to win over fans with food and drink specials, giveaways

By JOHN PRZYBYS
REVIEW-JOURNAL


So the economy is looking sadder than the Washington Redskins after their 1940 NFL championship game beat down (a 73-0 loss to the Bears).

So life in America circa 2008 is threatening to become more anticlimactic than a tie in overtime.

At least we have football and, whatever else is eroding the fringes of our collective psyche, we'll at least be able to devote the next few months to losing ourselves in the incongruous beauty of massively grown men playing a child's game for ungodly sums of money.

To help you plan out this season's pigskin pilgrimages, the Review-Journal again offers this list of Southern Nevada bars, taverns and restaurants that cater to fans of specific NFL teams.

This year's roster includes 55 establishments, but don't blame us if your favorite bar or team isn't included. This list is based solely on calls we receive from bar owners or managers, and if your favorite isn't here, it's because they fumbled by not calling us or not calling us by the deadline, or because your bar simply doesn't fit our requirements.

Having gotten that off our chest, this year's roster of MIA teams consists of the Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons, Baltimore Ravens, Carolina Panthers, Cincinnati Bengals, Green Bay Packers, Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars, Kansas City Chiefs, Oakland Raiders, San Francisco 49ers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tennessee Titans.

However, if your team is listed here, the proprietors of these bars have promised to show every game their teams play and to show no other games while their teams' games are on. (We're confident that, as always, you'll let us know if they go back on their word.)

And now, fans and fanettes, let's all prepare to revel in the most wonderful season on the sporting calendar.

IndyMac Holding Off Selling Foreclosures

During an April 26 conference call with analysts, Perry said the company didn’t sell a single dud loan in the first three months of the year because no one wanted to pay what he thinks they’re worth. No way is IndyMac selling to a hedge fund for “pennies on the dollar,” Perry said.In that time, IndyMac’s sour loans and foreclosed real estate ballooned 75 percent to $324 million. “We are not going to fire-sell when we have the intent and ability and expertise to work through those loans and sell them ourselves,” he said.But Indymac and others who deal in Alt-A loans, such as Impac Mortgage Holdings of Irvine and Downey Financial of Newport Beach, may not have time to wait. The same problems shaking up the subprime market are now emerging in the Alt-A industry. via the OC Register

Blue Rooms and Bank Owned Properties?


What is the deal with foreclosures, especially the ones in Las Vegas. Either one of the rooms or in the case of a foreclosure we toured today the garage was painted blue. Each time we visit four bank owned properties at least one if not more has a blue room. Does anyone else out there notice this phenomena?

Is buying a foreclosure for me?

Sure foreclosures can be priced well under market but that is not without costs you will incur after you close escrow. Make sure you do research on the property so there arent any big ticket issues such as roofing, wiring, plumbing or major pool damage.

We regularlly visit at least 25 or so foreclosures a week to preview them for our clients and close to 100% of the properties need carpet, paint and appliances. Depending on the property size you are looking at 10k to 20k in out of pocket costs.

When you are purchasing a property from a bank in Nevada they are expempt from providing you with a SRPD or Sellers Resale Property Disclosure. This document is important during a sale because the Seller must disclose all property history such as roof leaks, any damage and other important issues. Banks are not required to provide this and you the Buyer are required to sign a waiver of your rights.

We can assist you in finding a property, reviewing your options and purchasing it.

Call us for assistance.

Foreclosure Website Showcasing Listings

We all have heard there are a ton of foreclosures in Las Vegas spuring a host of foreclosure services from bus tours to specialzed agents. It is truly like panning for gold when searching for a foreclosure.

Sure the home home is going for $100k or more less than other listed properties in the same area BUT you have to consider cash out of pocket to get the property either rent ready or livable.

We have seen some pools that could double for Loch Ness meaning there is some serious work needed to be functional. Some of the foreclosures are picked clean. The former owners or tenants have removed all of the appliances, fixtures, celing fans, lighting and in some cases the carpet and pad.

Be aware and don't settle for something because its cheap.

One of the biggest problems is there are no photos online to compare apples to apples. This is why we have started
TourLVForeclosures.com , a Website dedicated to giving you photos and video of foreclosures in Las Vegas. We are starting with Summerlin specifically and moving from hotspot to hotspot in Vegas. Check it out today!
