Dangers of Buying REO's Just Out of Foreclosure
Banks and lending institutions that own real estate that was acquired through foreclosure call these properties real estate owned or REO's. REO's represent a liability to lenders because of the required accounting that literally "sucks" away assets of the lenders by the requirement they have substantial cash reserves to offset any potential loss when the properties are sold. This cash requirement substantially depletes the leveraged lending ability of that specific institution so REO's are not what any lender wants. In addition, the lender faces capital loss due to a declining real estate market.

Short Pay Versus Short Sale In Foreclosure
There is often confusion about what is a short sale and a short pay with a lender in foreclosure. A short sale is where the lender is willing to discount the existing mortgage(s) and sell to an investor for a "cash" transaction or an end buyer who does financing. Rarely the lender will finance a buyer if he has excellent credit and qualifies for another loan, and the lender believes the buyer will be living in the property. The only reason this wouldn't happen is because of the lender's internal policies or additional existing liens on the property.

What is "Keys for Cash" in Foreclosure
The term "keys for cash" in foreclosure is common in two situations. The first place it is often used is when a lender agrees to a short sale and the homeowner needs get-away money to leave the property. Most often the investor buying the property will explain that the lender will not allow any funds to go to the homeowner at the closing of the sale. He will go on to explain that he, the investor, will help the homeowner by buying his furniture or "antiques" and the lender will never be the wiser.

A Short Cut To A Short Sale In Foreclosure
The best short cut to completing a short sale is actually having the lender sell the note to the property buyer. Yes, often the lender will consider selling the note at a discount when it wont do a short sale. The difference to the lender is the cost and time saved in selling the note versus the drawn-out time required to complete a short sale.
