Buying a Destin Bank Owned Property or REO

A Destin foreclosure can be lower than the standard going rate due to the property being in disrepair, falling home values or the institution owning the home has a plethora of foreclosures and wants to get rid of it. It is possible to buy your first home this way or obtain a rentable property that you can fix up while receiving rent income that goes to the mortgage. Reselling former foreclosure homes or renting them out to screened individuals and families helps maintain a good neighborhood, ensuring that criminal activity is not encouraged to take root in the area.

Purchasing a foreclosure home is not the same as purchasing a regular home. Many foreclosures are in poor condition and you may not have the leisure to inspect it as you would wish. You need to know the legalities involved in purchasing a foreclosure in Destin and the timeframe that you may be looking at. Sometimes foreclosures can take months to come fully into your possession. The wise foreclosure investor checks the title for liens and taxes owed on the property, if any. You should also consider buying only vacant properties, as tenants on the property mean you may have an unpleasant and costly eviction ahead of you.

Destin foreclosure condos and townhomes are quite common and require some special handling to ensure that you're getting a great deal in a good complex or community. Make sure that you get a copy of the CC&Rs (covenants, conditions and restrictions), study the budget and are aware of rules that might affect your enjoyment of ownership. All the normal condo buying rules apply here, but in addition, you will want to make sure that the foreclosure you're looking at is not one of a number of foreclosures in the complex. This can affect your home values and make the property difficult to rent or sell.

Entrusting your Destin foreclosure search to an experienced professional is the best way to navigate the waters of the foreclosure market and find the home you want, for the price you want and with no hidden problems. Contact Tim Shepard for more information about Destin foreclosure real estate
