Importance of REO Maintenance

• Real estate owned properties are property that
  has fallen under the ownership of a mortgage
  lender or investor. There are several ways this
  can happen, but the property doesnt
  automatically become REO once a lender takes
  possession. In order to recoup losses and get rid
  of the property in short order, a lender will
  first try to sell the property at auction.
• Unfortunately for the lender or investor, though,
  properties often dont sell at auction. There are
  multiple reasons for this, the biggest one being
  that many property owners go into foreclosure
  because more is owed on the house than its
  worth, often because of a market downturn.
• The foreclosure process is also very costly and
  can involve attorney fees as well as the cost of
  seizing and securing the property. When the
  lender then tries to sell that property, they
  have to price above actual market value in order
  to recover the balance and their costs.
• If the lender who took possession of the property
  cant sell the property at an auction, then the
  lender takes over ownership of the property. The
  lender then tries to sell the real estate owned
  property to minimize its losses.
