REO” means “Real Estate Owned” properties. REO properties are known as bank REOs, bank owned residential property, foreclosures, etc. “REO companies”, on the other hand, are those who deal exclusively with REO investments.

Foreclosure has been all over the country and is expected to continue even longer. Foreclosure is now considered an industry.

Several homes are available in every stage of foreclosure. There are a number of companies springing up all over the country who aim to dedicate themselves in the acquisition and resale of reo properties.

They are called “REO companies” or “REO Asset Management Companies”. As foreclosure properties continue to pull up headlines, a number of investors and real estate professionals start to approach banks and lenders for the lists of bank REOs.

Selling prices of each house is included in the REO listing provided by the bank. Buying foreclosed properties used to be an informal process but soon change when foreclosure become prevalent all over the country.

Banks and lending companies are being flooded with foreclosure properties weekly. They need to find ways on how to get rid of these properties at the earliest time to avoid further losses in keeping the properties. This opportunity was seen by business people, thus leading the way to the birth of specialized companies.

These specialized companies deal with “distressed’ real estate including bank REO, foreclosed and soon to be foreclosed properties. Several companies consider themselves as “REO Asset Management Companies”. However, most of them do not make any money. They lack one or more of the following: experience, funding/cash flow, strong management, relationships with banks and lenders, networks of realtors, contractors and appraisers, etc. Profitable REO companies have all of the mentioned attributes and proven business processes.
