I am getting sick and tired of all these unmaintained properties in my area. If only the banks would just adjust their prices then their messes could be cleaned up in a responsive fashion.
The majority of lenders out there are not willing to negotiate on the price. I bet they just don't want to comprehend they are on the losing side this battle.
The banks are becoming very creative with their advertising. They are offering great rates and many other interesting things. They are starting to utilizing auctions today on their foreclosures a lot more.
Auctions have always been a very popular way to sell. The boundary's are pretty much limitless. If you have anything to sell an auction can be used.
Auctions can be held almost anywhere that a microphone can be setup. The mobility of theses auctioneers makes these live auctions very popular today. They are able to setup a whole auction in front of a house in less than twenty minutes.
When I go to an real estate auction as an investor I'm looking for a good deal. I know exactly what I am looking for. Also, what price they are worth and what I am willing to pay. Just too many times I just watch people bid them past what they are worth on the open market. On top of that they have to pay the auction house for its time. At that point you could of just made an offer on a similar property for a much lower price.
Auction houses like most business have to get paid for their time. They usually work on a fixed percentage commission or a flat rate fee. The typically percentage is around 3% to 5%. Some of them even have a percentage and fee per winning bid.
Always remember when bidding that you have to calculate the auction house's commission in the price. Just imagine purchasing a house at $200,000 and having to pay 5% commission now your actual purchase price is $210,000. It will amaze you how fast everything adds up.
Today almost everything we read and sign have disclaimers throughout. I particularly like the auction books. They show you so many great deals in the front. When you flip to the rules and regulations section those great things don't actually exist.
I wish that when I went to an auction I could win a property for the opening bid. I wish that some body could, but even if I was the only one there I still couldn't. Those incredible low prices only exist to drive traffic to the auctions.
The best part is they do not have to sell it for that price even if you bid up the property in question over its reserve amount. The lenders setup minimum reserve amounts for each property they are auctioning off. In the past whatever the property price was bid up to in the end was it. That was the price the property was sold for and on to the next.
I thought that a reserve bid was already was a joke. The worst one is that the seller has typically has seven days to accept you bid or not. In other words at any winning bid amount it is there decision if you will get it in the end.
I can see that the auctions are in the favor of the seller. One of things that I hate the most is wasting my time. They make you fill out forms then make you pre-qualify to bid. If I knew my final bid really meant I won that would be different.
I recommend to go to an auction for your self. Just be aware of everything before bidding
