Types of Foreclosures

Judicial foreclosure action is a proceeding in which a mortgagee, a trustee or another lienholder on property requests a court-supervised sale of the property to cover the unpaid balance of a delinquent debt.

Nonjudicial foreclosure is the process of selling real property under a power of sale in a mortgage or deed of trust that is in default. In such a foreclosure, however, the lender is unable to obtain a deficiency judgment, which makes some title insurance companies reluctant to issue a policy

Are foreclosures an option?

A foreclosure property is a home that has been repossessed by the lender because the owners failed to pay the mortgage. Thousands of homes end up in foreclosure every year. Economic conditions affect the number of foreclosures, too. Many people lose their homes due to job loss, credit problems or unexpected expenses.

It is wise to be cautious when considering a foreclosure. Many experts, in fact, advise inexperienced buyers to hire an expert to take them through the process. It is important to have the house thoroughly inspected and to be sure that any liens, undisclosed mortgages or court judgments are cleared or at least disclosed

Buying Foreclosures: What are problems?

Buying directly at a legal foreclosure sale is risky and dangerous. It is strictly caveat emptor ("Let the buyer beware").

The process has many disadvantages. There is no financing; you need cash and lots of it. The title needs to be checked before the purchase or the buyer could buy a seriously deficient title. The property's condition is not well known and an interior inspection of the property may not be possible before the sale.

Where can you Find Foreclosures?

In most states, a foreclosure notice must be published in the legal notices section of a local newspaper where the property is located or in the nearest city. Also, foreclosure notices are usually posted on the property itself and somewhere in the city where the sale is to take place

The advantages to buying properties from homeowners in default can only be measured by the individual investor. Some do not see enough reward, some think it's too risky, while others are plagued by moral issues. Are you helping the troubled homeowner or taking advantage of his misfortune?

Both the lender and the homeowner lose in a foreclosure action. Neither want it to happen. Both parties are motivated to resolve the situation. Motivated parties are key to the process.

The investing window of opportunity opens the day the Lis Pendens, the notice that a legal action is pending, is filed. The window closes the day the property is sold at auction. The time between these two events enables an investor to work with the homeowner and lender to create a workout strategy or a purchase of the property from the homeowner before the sale date.

The amount of time the window remains open depends solely on state and local laws, as well as the behavior of the property owner. Some states sell properties within 90-120 days from the first notice of default. In New York, the process can take a year or more.

As for the moral question, keep in mind that by dealing with a homeowner in default, you not only help him, you generally rescue the loan and maintain the value of the property (and surrounding properties) as well. If there is enough equity in the property, there is the potential to work out an arrangement that satisfies all parties and allows for a handsome profit. That's what pre-foreclosure investing is all about: buying the equity in the property, working out an arrangement with the lender and the homeowner, then selling the property for a profit.

Investors follow these basic guidelines to ensure a successful purchase and sale:

1. Locate loans in default

2. Evaluate choices and narrow selections

3. Contact homeowner

4. Inspect property and loan documents

5. Determine homeowner's needs

6. Calculate your selling price and profits

7. Negotiate with lender, owner and lien holders

8. Close the deal, repair as necessary and sell

FIX N -FLIPS:

It's called "flipping," where people buy property, wait a few months for it to go up in value and then "flip it," or sell it for an instant profit sometimes a huge instant profit.

There's no question that this has the potential to make large gains. For the right investor, this can be a very good way to supplement [income], and even at some point, if it works well for someone, could even be a full-time job."

Risks Are Real

But as more Donald Trump wannabes shift their assets from a frustrating stock market to a soaring real estate market, some experts caution that flipping property for a profit isn't quite as easy as it looks.

But with some careful planning and research, there is still money to be made, "What you try to do is find out about the property before the general public does,"

Tips to Start Flipping

some tips on how to flip real estate the right way and pitfalls to watch out for.

Educate yourself. Know the neighborhood you want to buy into. Tour the area with a realtor, and find out what comparable homes are worth, what types of homes are selling well, what property taxes are in the area and so on.

Create a business plan. Just because so many people are exploring real estate flipping doesn't mean you can jump in unprepared.

• What are your goals?

• How quickly do you want to turn around the property?

• Does the house need some work to make it more valuable?

• How much profit do you realistically hope to make?

Put together a business team. Consult the experts. The people on your team should include a home inspector, contractor, realtor, tax accountant and attorney to advise you.

Prepare for the worst. Be prepared to deal with problems. What if the house needs a new foundation or interest rates suddenly shoot up? What if the house doesn't sell or goes into foreclosure? If you can't handle the financial risks, don't do it.

Think long term. Traditionally, real estate performs very well. Crowley says in the worst-case scenario, you can live in the home or rent it out. It may not be profitable in the short term, but she says real estate is almost always a good investment in the long run.

How to Buy Lots & Land

Wexler Group can help you find and buy the perfect residential lot or land.

Here's How:

1. Before you buy, find out if city or community water and sewer connections are available on the lot or land.

2. If sewer hookups are not available, make your offer to buy land contingent on the ability to install a septic system rated for the number of bedrooms you require.

3. Find out if other contingencies are advisable for land purchases. For instance, in some areas water rights do not convey with land--and that means you could not dig a well.

4. Make sure electricity and phone service are available at the property. Check cable service if that is a priority.

5. If the land you wish to buy is not accessible by a public road, verify that a road maintenance agreement is in place. This document states that everyone on the road agrees to help with its upkeep.

6. There should be a deeded right-of-way in place for land not accessible by a public road. The deed should give you and future owners the legal right to access the land.

7. Check the property's deed restrictions to make sure the type of residence you plan to build is allowed. For instance, some areas do not allow manufactured housing.

8. If the lot is in a development, ask for a copy of the restrictive covenants. That's where you'll find restrictions for minimum house size, whether other structures are allowed, and other limitations.

9. Ask the city or county if zoning changes are anticipated for the area, or if there's a plan to build new roads or widen existing roads.

10. If there are environmental hazards on the land, such as old buried oil or gas tanks, decide if you are willing to remove them, or if you will ask the seller to take care of removal and cleanup.

11. Decide if you want a new boundary survey. Surveys are standard in some areas, but rarely required in others. They're nearly always a good idea.

12. If you plan to build a home soon talk to lenders about construction loans.

Tips:

1. Don't be turned off by the terms 'development,' and 'subdivision.' If you're from a city, you might associate both words with small lots and side-by-side homes. In rural areas, a subdivision lot might be 10+ acres in size.

2. Restrictive covenants help protect home values by requiring structures to conform to specific standards. Read them carefully so you know exactly what is and is not allowed.

3. Study the deed to discover if other persons or tracts of land have been granted easements to use your land in any way

Buying land can seem intimidating, but it really isn't difficult at all when you analyze your needs and determine which types of land are most suitable for the home you plan to build.

Talk with a mortgage broker or bank loan officer to find out how much you can afford. If you plan to build right away, the loan officer should explain construction loans, including the closing procedures you'll encounter while the house is being built.

RENTALS:

How to Buy a House That's Easy-To-Rent

The Wexler Group has access to thousands of properties that are considered easy-to rent, are currently rented or even with Lease Options. See below) If you plan to become a landlord, do your homework before you buy to find out what type of dwellings are in most demand in your area.

Here's How:

1. Talk to rental agents. An agent who handles a large number of rentals can tell you what type of full-time or vacation home renters are looking for.

2. Read newspaper classifieds to determine which types of properties seem to be most popular, and how much they are renting for during all seasons the home will be available.

3. If the area attracts lots of senior citizens, one-level living may be the best choice, or at least a house with main living quarters on the first floor. Avoid homes where renters must climb a flight of stairs to reach the entrance.

4. Read real estate magazines for terms highlighted by REALTORS , such as 'view,' 'golfing,' and 'stream.' If agents continually mention an item, it's likely in demand. Try to find a property with one or more of those features.

5. Look for a property within a reasonable distance of shopping and area attractions.

6. Find a well maintained home, or plan to do an immediate fix-up. A shabby appearance won't attract renters, but will decrease rental fees.

7. Before buying a home in a development, make sure the restrictive covenants allow rentals.

8. Get a quote for homeowner's insurance, telling the agent you plan to rent the home. Ask if the agent has any special recommendations for landlords.

9. Talk with an accountant to verify that the income you can realistically expect to receive is appropriate for the home's purchase price and projected maintenance fees.

Lease-Option:

Are you having difficulty selling your home or other real estate?

Would you like to buy a home or an investment property but you don't have enough cash for a down payment?

If you answered "yes" to either question, a lease with option to purchase can solve your problem. But it's important to understand the pros and cons of lease-options to maximize your benefits.

What is a Lease-Option?
A lease-option is a combination real estate rental, sales and finance technique. It is a property lease for a fixed time period, such as 12 or 24 months, with an option for the tenant to buy the property at an agreed option price during the lease term.

Buyers like lease-options because little up-front cash is required. Sellers also like lease-options because they provide necessary cash flow to pay the mortgage and property taxes from a tenant who has a vested interest in treating the property well and who is likely to buy it.

What is a Lease-Purchase?
A lease-purchase is different from a lease-option because it obligates the tenant to purchase the property at the end of the lease. With a lease-option the tenant has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the property.

With both, however, the tenant usually pays an above-market rent and receives a monthly rent credit toward the down payment. Of course, both a lease-option and a lease-purchase obligate the seller to sell the property on the agreed terms.

The Biggest Lease-Option Obstacle
The biggest obstacle to a lease-option transaction is often the realty agent. The reason is the agent receives only part of their commission up-front at the time of entering into the lease-option.

The commission balance is paid when the option is exercised. Many agents who can't afford to wait for part of their commission don't realize a lease-option is better than no sale at all.

Advantages For Sellers
Unless your property is located where there is very strong demand from buyers, lease-options can be especially advantageous for home sellers.

Primary property seller advantages are:

Strong Demand From Prospective Buyers
No matter how slow the local real estate market might be, there is almost always a strong demand from lease-option buyers. Many prospective home buyers can usually afford the monthly payments but they have often have insufficient cash for a down payment. The lease-option solves this problem by giving the tenant-buyer a rent credit toward the down payment. It's like a "forced savings account." In addition, the tenant-buyer usually pays up-front nonrefundable consideration for the option, typically several thousand dollars.

Top Dollar Option Price
Because of strong buyer demand for lease-options, when done correctly, home sellers can demand and get top dollar for their properties. Usually, the option price is set at the market value when signing the lease-option. If the home's market value goes up during the lease-option term, the buyer benefits. Should the property drop in value, then the tenant usually doesn't complete the purchase.

Top Quality Tenants
During the lease-option, the tenant-buyer usually take good care of the property as if they own it.

Above-Market Rent
Another seller advantage is earning above-market rent. Landlords can charge tenants 10 to 20 percent above market rent.

Seller Keeps the Tax Deductions
During the lease-option period, the seller retains all the property income tax deductions. If a tenant complains about not receiving any tax benefits, a reminder about the rent credit toward the down payment usually ends the discussion.

Advantages For Buyers
Lease-option benefits are not one-sided. Advantages for buyers include:

Small Amount of Up-Front Cash Required
The amount of up-front cash required to acquire a home or other property on a lease-option is usually small, often just a few thousand dollars for the first month's rent plus non-refundable option consideration. This option money is in lieu of a security deposit.

Monthly Rent Credit Builds a Down Payment
The unique characteristic of a lease-option is the rent credit toward the buyer's down payment. Typically, the rent credit is 10 to 100 percent of the monthly rent, depending on how motivated the seller is to sell. The higher the rent credit percentage, the greater the probability the tenant will buy.

Try Out the Property Before Buying
Another special lease-option benefit for the tenant is the ability to try out the property before buying. If it is undesirable, the tenant hasn't tied up a large amount of cash in a home that might be difficult to resell.

Control Property With Very Little Cash
The ability to control a property and profit from its market value appreciation with very little cash is called leverage. Lease-option buyers have this unique advantage.

Longer Terms Mean Greater Profitability
Although most residence lease-options are for short terms, such as one or two years, smart investors seek lease-options with the longest possible term. They reason the property is likely to appreciate in market value over the long term

1031 Exchange:

Performing a 1031 tax deferred exchange allows you to defer Capital Gains taxes on real estate bought and sold for investment purposes.

At closing, proceeds are transferred to a third party--called a facilitator or qualified intermediary--who holds them until they are used acquire the new property.

**Talk to a C.P.A. or your tax advisor to Learn how the process works and get the information you need to do a successful 1031 exchange
 

A 1031 exchange is often referred to as a Starker exchange.

Exchanges Allow You to Delay Capital Gains Taxes
Capital gains taxes are deferred if all of the exchange funds are used to purchase like-kind investment property.

The deferment is like getting an interest-free loan on the tax dollars you would have owed for a cash sale. More equity is retained, and that helps you move into properties of higher value each time you perform a 1031 exchange.

What's Eligible?
A 1031 exchange is possible when you sell real estate held for investment purposes. It cannot be used for the sale of your personal residence.

Like Kind Properties
Exchanged properties must be like kind. For a real estate exchange this means real-property for real-property, but not necessarily land for land or a rental house for another rental house. Take a look at the IRS rules for specific information about what types of properties qualify as like kind.

You can exchange a single property for multiple properties, or purchase one property from the proceeds of several. Proceeds not used to purchase new investment property are taxed as a cash sale.

"In a like-kind exchange, both the property you give up and the property you receive must be held by you for investment or for productive use in your trade or business." IRS
