Foreclosure Inventories are Volatile. An Easy Way to Survive as an REO Broker!
Last Updated on Monday, 10 May 2010 01:08 Written by Mike Costigan Monday, 10 May 2010 01:08
I get these questions daily from REO Rockstars subscribers and from foreclosure brokers that I am coaching; “What is happening with bank owned properties?” “Why are the inventory levels fluctuating so much now?” “What can I do to keep from going under?” My explanation is this: The government and the banks are trying desperately to stop this huge flow of distressed properties from hitting the market. The government, of course, wishes to preserve home ownership and neighborhood values. The banks, of course, wish to SAVE MONEY and REDUCE LOSSES. As a result, we are seeing many new programs and strategies implemented, in an effort to keep foreclosures from taking place, and to offset losses, by disposing of bad debt though other means, like short sales. An interesting note that you may or may not know, is that banks are consistently seeing about a 15 point higher return on short sales vs. foreclosures-only makes sense that they look towards these alternatives, as additional methods of property disposition.
Does this mean an END to REO is coming?

Would Fannie Mae Hire YOU As an REO Broker?…REALLY?
Last Updated on Tuesday, 20 April 2010 04:07 Written by Mike Costigan Tuesday, 20 April 2010 04:07
Do you REALLY have what it takes to get in with the big companies as an REO broker? Would they TRULY want to hire you to sell foreclosures on their behalf? Be honest with yourself now…Selling bank owned homes is a lot of work and it involves many special REO processes, that you need to know to a “T”, if you are going to be considered for REO assignments from companies like Fannie Mae. To REALLY “get” the ins and outs of the REO business, it’s wise to learn as much as you can, from anyone who will coach, you before taking on much business. Putting the other foot forward first can quickly get you blacklisted by Asset Managers and banks forever.

How to Structure an REO Deal That a Hard Money Lender Will Finance
Last Updated on Tuesday, 2 March 2010 08:49 Written by Mike Costigan Tuesday, 2 March 2010 08:45
I get this question on REO Rockstars calls a lot so let me share a bit of free insight on why REO agents and investors buying bank owned homes have their hopes of a golden finish blow out violently, like a speed skater who’s shoved into the boards, trying to squeeze out Apollo Ohno on the last turn before the finish line! Grab a pen and paper and take some notes my friend. This stuff is not for the faint-hearted but it doesn’t take 4 years of torturous training either-just a tiny little bit if focus. You can manage that can’t you? 
…Every day my office receives offers from these “would be” investors. Seems like everyone has taken some class, “learned from a friend”, or just plain walks blindly into the “investor” game. Now not to be critical of REAL investors here. We do business with PLENTY of super smart guys who make a very good living at this. But how do they do it? Well, it begins with the basics of knowing HOW to structure a deal that just makes sense. Contrary to what the “wanna be” guys seem to think, a great deal involves a heck of a lot more than looking at a few comps and speculating on a flip price. Bluntly, It is not the HOUSE that matters. It’s the PLAN. Smart investors, the guys who actually make a career out of this (and no, I’m not talking about some of these TV goofballs who make me cringe as they buy termite infested, water logged, structurally defunct houses and end up rebuilding from the foundation up-HACKS!), break the numbers down to the last penny, including the financing factors. First, they have to consider “where” they are going to get the non-occupant financing and more importantly “how” they are going to convince the hard money guy to fork over a chunk of change to finance the project.

How to KEEP Getting REO Listings…What Asset Managers want to see.

Good afternoon Millionaire Agent Academy members. In keeping with our special REO training, designed to keep you two steps ahead of your competitors, the following is the latest BIG money making tip from my “REO Rockstars“. ENJOY…
Just a very quick post to remind everyone that you will NOT get away with slacking on utility connections. I realize that this may seem to be a post with a very obvious meaning but I have to tell you that this is probably one of the biggest hangups that AMs have to deal with. I would roughly guesstimate that at least HALF…yeah HALF of the bank owned REO properties that I visit DO NOT have utilities activated. I also know with absolute certainty that almost ALL Master Listing Agreements contain a special section regarding broker responsibilities, specifically, ACTIVATING UTILITIES. I was reminded of this sore subject by an email received from a client today, that listed all of their bank owned homes in the state of GA that DID not have utilities on. The list was MASSIVE. What really amazes me even more than the size of the list,
