Real estate investing probably makes you think of a number of things. You likely leap to real estate investing as real estate portfolios and real estate retirement plans, and then you may expand to thinking of short sales, bulk reo investing or virtual real estate investing. You probably also wonder how these things play out in real estate investors’ life in the current economy.

There is a great deal to know about real estate investing. The best way to get the most out of your real estate investing education is to be familiar with some basic information ahead of time. Whether your target is short sales, bulk reo sales, virtual real estate or improving real estate investor abilities, you need to know some real estate investing basics. Check out these three real estate investing tenets that many experts do not fully know:

1. You always will get a positive result from investing in real estate investing education. Every good real estate deal represents thousands of dollars in potential wealth. Understanding how to get that wealth will be the key to your success. Knowing more about real estate betters your odds of success when you do a real estate deal. A small investment in your education can yield big results when you implement your learning.

2. You have the ability to succeed in real estate investing in any economy. Many people think that you can only succeed in real estate when the economy is booming. Actually a poor economy is not a bad economy for real estate investors. You can often buy properties at deep discounts. Additionally, you may find deals that would not exist in a booming economy. Poor economies can turn based on active real estate investing. When the economy is not thriving, short sales, bulk reo sales and virtual real estate can all thrive. Knowing how to do these deals can create wealth for you and save others from major financial difficulties.

3. You do not need to have a great deal of money if you want to be a successful real estate investor. You can succeed in real estate investing no matter how much money you have.

Bulk REO Investing For Beginners

Posted by amm on Saturday, 28 November, 2009

There are more foreclosures in the United States right now than we have ever experienced before. Yet well-funded investors in real estate are seizing upon this opening to profit from an profoundly profitable new opportunity.

The real estate investing strategy du jour is called ‘Bulk REO Investing‘ and is a real monster.

Consider with me, if you will, the fundamentals of the Bulk REO business.

Understanding of the foreclosure process is central to understanding Bulk REO investing.

A home owner who misses one or more mortgage payments is faced with an ever-increasing volume of threatening correspondence from their lender. The lender directs the subsequent timing of the actual foreclosure proceedings. ‘Pre foreclosure’ is the name given to the time between implementation of the foreclosure proceedings and the public auction.

To complete the foreclosure process, the property is auction to the public. The lender regains ownership of the property if there are no buyers at auction. This property is then considered to be ‘Real Estate Owned’ by the lender, also known as an ‘REO’ property.

Lenders usually try to unload their REO properties at close to retail price by listing their REO’s with a real estate broker. Yet with increasing frequency, REO properties are being sold for pennies or dimes on the dollar. But the price of receiving such great pricing is the need to purchase multiple REO properties (a ‘package’) rather than individual properties.

Qualified real estate investors are increasingly finding once-in-a-lifetime opportunities in these REO packages. The most successful Bulk REO Investors will have a well-respected source of funding for their transactions. Some sources of funding for these transactions are: personal funds, hard money lenders, commercial lenders and non-conventional sources such as private investors and hedge funds. Additionally, one man is becoming very well known in the field of bulk REO investing, and his name is Salvatore Bushemi of Dandrew Capital Partners, a New-York based hedge fund.
