What is an REO?
"REO" is an abbreviation for "Real Estate Owned". It is a term used in the real estate industry to describe a property that a lender, typically a bank, government agency, or government loan insurer, owns after a failed sale at a foreclosure auction.
When a property goes into a foreclosure auction and does not sell, the lending institution becomes the owner. The lender usually sells these REO properties to recover the unpaid loan amount. The bank or lender typically manages these properties through their REO or asset management departments.
REO properties can offer opportunities for investors and homebuyers as they are often sold below market value. However, they may also have property condition issues, as they are frequently sold "as is."
