The market for HUD Homes has become very popular. A HUD home is a 1-to-4 unit residential property acquired by HUD as a result of a foreclosure action on an FHA-insured mortgage. HUD becomes the property owner and offers it for sale to recover the loss on the foreclosure claim. HUD Homes have become viable investments since these many of these homes may be priced 30-50% below market value. Below is a list of Anne Arundel County foreclosed HUD homes that are ready to be purchased.

Foreclosure is the legal action by which the bank takes ownership of a home in Maryland from a seller who is past due on their mortgage payments (usually more than 90 days).  Once the bank completes the foreclosure action in a Maryland court of law, the homeowner no longer owns the home, it’s now a bank-owned home.  The term “real estate owned”, or REO, is used to describe all the property owned by the bank.  Bank-owned homes are liabilities, not assets, for the bank.  When a homeowner falls on hard times and stops paying the mortgage and doesn’t sell the house, the bank forces the homeowner to vacate the property, seizes control of their asset using the foreclosure action, following Maryland foreclosure proceedings.  Homeowners stop paying mortgages for lots of reasons, including death, divorce, loss of job, change in health, and many more reasons.  The owners may have even attempted to sell the home but weren’t able to for many different reasons (see the discussion on short sales, below).  Basically the bank is exercising it’s option to call the note due when the homeowner fails to make their monthly payments – essentially you pay you stay, you don’t you go.

Short sales are where the borrower still owes the home but for various reasons they cannot sell their Maryland home for what they owe the bank.  This could be because they purchased the home at a higher price than what it is now worth in the real estate market.  Or perhaps they refinanced the home at sometime during their ownership and the property appraised at a higher value, so they added a second mortgage or did a “cash out refi” and have now spent the money on a car, on a kids education, or just spent it.  In any event, they’re what we call “under water” and need to sell the home because they lost their job, had a reduction in household income, have a job change that moves them far away from where they now live.  For whatever reason, the owners need to sell, but, may not be able to sell their home for what they owe the bank.  Therefore, they’re going to “sell short” and need what’s called “third party approval” from the bank to do so.  In other words, they’re going to have to ask the bank to forgive a portion of the mortgage and allow them to sell the property and obtain a release from the mortgage whereby they have settled the mortgage for less than balance owed to the bank.

From the stand point of the buyer, in a foreclosure, buyers are negotiating with a seller that is a bank.  In a short sale, buyers are negotiating with a seller that is a person.  From the stand point of the seller, in a foreclosure, the bank is the selling party and decides whether or not to sell.  In a short sale, the bank is third party to the contact of sale and can only approve or decline that sale, hence the term “subject to third party approval”.

The process is essentially the same no matter whether you are purchasing a bank-owned home or a short sale.  What’s different between the two are the time frames that are involved.  When purchasing a bank-owned home, the seller (the bank) is going to want to settle within a very short time – sometimes a quickly as a few weeks but not often as long as several months – they’re already out their money, and, continuing to own the property continues to cost them.  When purchasing a short sale, the seller (the homeowners) will have to seek third party approval from their mortgage companies (they’ll need approval from their first mortgage to sell as well as any other lien holders that could include a second mortgage).  The bank isn’t usually happy with homeowners seeking a short sale, so they’re going to put them through the wringer and request documentation on their hardship and why they should let them off the hook for the difference between what they can sell the house for and what they owe on it (i.e., the short sale amount).  The bank will be requesting bank statements, income tax returns, pay stubs, et. al., from the sellers.  And, it could take weeks, months, or even years for the bank to get around to reviewing the documentation and either approving or rejecting (and now maybe even countering) the short sale.

Before submitting an offer on a bank-owned home or short sale, research, research, research.  How did the property get to where it is?  Was the homeowner in over their head or is something wrong with the property?  Ask if there have been inspections and if reports are available documenting findings.  Such reports could include termite inspections, radon inspections, well water quality inspections, septic system inspections, mold inspections, to name just a few.

When you are ready to make an offer on a bank-owned property, keep it simple.  Banks don’t like complicated deals.  They just want to get the home sold.  Both bank-owned homes and short sales are in all likelihood going to be sold “as is”, so make sure you hire qualified inspectors so that you’re making an informed decision about the current condition of the property.  Banks are not likely to make repairs.  And, short sale sellers, well, they’re already short and will be reluctant to pour more money into their money pit.

Keep in mind there are many challenges and pitfalls during and after purchasing Annapolis Maryland short sales and bank-owned homes.  If time is on your side and are patient, you can often purchase a great property at a bargain.  A client once sent me an e-mail while they were “in contract” to purchase a foreclosure.  The e-mail said “foreclosures and short sales are God’s way of teaching buyers patience.”
