This is a question that is being asked by real estate investors as they seek to build their rental portfolios. Homes in the area make good rental properties because of the convenience to employment centers, shopping and public transportation. And, the schools have an outstanding reputation. Many are pleased to find that there is a very good selection of homes for sale below the $250,000 price level.
This is what is available today:
If you exclude the short sales and lender owned foreclosures, there are 46 active listings of homes for sale.
For those that are working in the short sale market, there are 60 available listings of short sale homes for sale. Short sale transactions must be approved by the secured mortgage lenders and most do not reach settlement because of the lack of approvals. Some investors are submitting contracts on multiple properties hoping that a couple will be approved. Contracts should be carefully worded to disclose this strategy to the sellers.
The most productive sector is the inventory of lender owned foreclosures. There are 12 REO homes for sale. Cash investors that have no contract conditions have a definite advantage with the asset managers.
Cash investors should have a letter in hand from their bank stating that funds are available for the cash purchase of real estate. Investors that plan to use mortgage financing need to have a pre-approval letter for investor financing from their mortgage lender. Those without written documentation are not taken seriously. Many mortgage lenders are restricting the number of outstanding loans that may be held by real estate investors, regardless of financial strength.
