Turn REO Properties into Profitable Rentals | Real Estate Investing

PropertyAccess, a leading provider of national property management services for institutional investors, is taking the guesswork out of the REO-to-rental market for investors by offering a unique solution that addresses the entire lifecycle of property management including assessment, evaluation, renovation, management, maintenance and future disposition.

?

The industry?s support to release the excess of REO properties from government-owned enterprises through bulk sales to investors is growing. Thirty-three senators recently sent a letter to the Administration urging it to adopt new programs to alleviate the housing crisis, while the FHFA received over 4,000 responses to their RFI supporting a national rental program and numerous reports proving REO-to-rental is a sound strategy have been released from industry influencers such as Morgan Stanley, Harvard and GAO, said Paul Hayman, CEO of PropertyAccess. Investors have the capital and are eager to jump into the game, but access to larger pools of assets is quickly becoming a challenge. Needless to say, 2012 is going to be a pivotal year for investors in the REO-to-rental market and we need to begin sooner rather than later.

?

According to financial filings at the close of the third quarter 2011, there were more than 220,000 foreclosed and REO properties being held by HUD, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac combined. These numbers do not include the shadow inventory that has yet to hit the market, and that has been projected to be in the range of 1.6 2 million properties.

?

Owning and maintaining these properties is exerting pressure on the GSEs, banks, servicers and the housing market in general while at the same time making neighborhood revitalization and stabilization a challenge.

?

According to Hayman, The opportunity is real. The convergence of high REO inventory levels and depressed housing prices, along with an increased demand for rentals, is creating a perfect storm for investors. The time for investors to get their feet wet is now. Gaining knowledge, finding trusted partners, and proving their investment models will be critical.
