purchasing an REO

Gerald’s Real Estate Tip of the – Week of 8/16/16

Be careful when you make offers to purchase bank-owned property, also known as REOs, because there is no previous owner compelled to disclose problems like a leaky roof or oil tank. You must do your own homework which includes a property inspection–the bank will only give you clear title to the property.
