by Jilly Willson


Home in pre foreclosure provide a good opportunity for real estate property investors Pre foreclosure homes typically have very motivated buyers which make for extremely profitable transactions Generally, the property owner of a home in preforeclosure is extremely motivated to get the deal done quickly. This often results in a significant opportunity for the buyer. The biggest hurdle in the deal is getting the bank to agree to the terms of the sale instead of forcing the home through the pre foreclosure process.

Because the bank stands to lose money either way, they will be motivated by the deal that will best minimize their losses.Essentially they are in a lose lose situation and will evaluate sales offers based upon what will minimize their losses. If a property owner has put the property into pre foreclosure by not paying on the mortgage, it is still up to the buyer to demonstrate that by allowing the sale to go through, the bank will minimize their losses.

Because of this fact, real estate investors often assemble complete packages to plead their case to the bank. They learn who the loss mitigation people are at the bank and have a detailed understanding of what paperwork and proof is necessary to push the deal through.
