Certain assumptions are made in the above tables. The above are estimates and are not to be considered as actual. The above information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
Before commenting that the new conforming rate is now $729,000 and the Buyers will only need 3% down under FHA guidelines, it is still obvious what kind of income will be need and how large the monthly payment will be required. The above 20% down tables will not require mortgage insurance.

What is REO?

What is REO? Here’s one for the longtail and a sort of WIKI entry to my BLOG!!!

In any business it is hard not to slip into the industry vernacular and forget that our audience may not really be following. REO is an acronym for Real Estate Owned. Here in Simi Valley and Moorpark an REO property falls under the California process of foreclosure. California is a Trust Deed state. The term mortgage is a more universal term like Kleenex or Xerox for Californians.

When a person borrows money against a property the Loan is made and secured against the property with an instrument known as a Deed of Trust. The Deed of Trust has three partys. The Lender (Beneficiary), The Borrower (Trustor) and the Trustee – an entity or person who holds the Title to the property until the Loan (secured by the Deed of Trust) is paid.

In the event that the Trustor defaults on the Loan, the Trustee is vested with the right (power to sell) to foreclose (non Judicially) on the property with in the parameters allowed by the state of California. At the time the Trustee is entitled to set the date of sale, public notice is given. The minimum bid is set at the amount owed on the property plus payments in arrears, plus costs. This minimum amount is usually more that the market value of the property so the Beneficiary ends up with the property and then will either hire a real estate broker or private auction company to sell the property. Once the Beneficiary takes title to the property, the property is now known as an REO.
