“HUD TAKES ACTION TO SPEED RESALE OF FORECLOSED PROPERTIES TO NEW OWNERS”

This is great news for investors!  FHA is temporarily removing the restriction for investors.  FHA didn’t allow a new buyer to purchase a home that has been owned less than 3 months by the seller (typically an investor-aka flipper).  The regulation was for curtailing flipping the property.

This change is a smart move for FHA/HUD because many of the homes being purchased by investors are in pretty poor condition and a typical buyer wouldn’t want to, or just couldn’t, purchase the home.  This allows investors to purchase the property, do the necessary improvements, which will usually help the new buyer get a conventional loan on the property.  Many, and I do mean many of these foreclosed properties don’t quality for conventional lending because they are, well, basically a mess!

Doing a quick search for “Flippers” brought up some very negative comments.  They are often looked at as the bad guy, and that is just inaccurate.  There is good and bad in every aspect of life, profession, business…you get the point.  Flippers are ultimately just investors.  Just like any other opportunity they are looking for a profit…is that bad?  They are assuming the risk.  A property might look like it just needs a couple cans of paint and new baths, but underneath all that could be a dragon rearing it’s ugly head.  The investor will do their due-diligence, but things are often missed, and herein lies the risk.

Moving foreclosures off the market is great.  In this market investors will typically price these properties low for a quicker sale and this helps your first-time home-buyer get a house that’s fixed up and a pretty good deal.  Southern New Hampshire has seen it’s fair share of foreclosures, but it has not been the dominant market.  Arms-length transactions have been the norm.

Just my thoughts…

Sorry…delay in posting due to busy real estate market.

Once a week is turning into once a month…yikes!

Well I now have my real estate license.   I will be working with Brin Realty Group in Amherst, NH in addition to appraising. Previous clients of mine who do rehab projects wanted my help in listing their properties.  Another adventure for me!

The market has been nuts as most are aware (those who are not aware don’t pay attention and don’t read blogs either).  I, like most others, am waiting for the election to see how the housing market will fare.  Everything is too uncertain now.  The bailout, the economy, the election…man what an exciting year!

Post Soon,

Jenn
