“Now is the winter of our discontent…” Well, I guess it depends on how you look at things. There are a lot of people around the world that are unhappy. Winter weather can be a trial and the economy, the economy, the economy. It’s enough to make anyone discontented, if that’s all they focused on. But what about people who are willing to focus on opportunity instead of negativity, are they feeling discontented? Not from where I sit.
Everyday I help families to find the REO property of their dreams. 
These high value homes are sold a reduced cost to compensate for necessary repairs giving home owners an ideal opportunity to invest in their future. It’s funny how inconsequential some February slush can be when you finally realize the dream of home ownership. Winter of our discontent, I don’t think so. In my office I like to think of it as the Winter of Opportunity.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could look into a crystal ball and know for certain what was in your future? Imagine how much easier it would be if you could know for certain what action you could take that would provide you with financial security. You may not be able to look into a crystal ball to see the future but you can look to the past as a great predictor of what the future may look like.
The less expensive your home purchase is the more you stand to gain if the house grows in value. And we know from the past that homes consistently grow in value over time, despite short periods of down turn.
One of my favorite things about helping people buy REO properties is watching them put their own special stamp on their home. Seeing a property transformed with a little paint, some new carpeting and some new fixtures is truly amazing. I love that REO property offers you the opportunity to own your home for a reduced price and then alter the property to suit your own needs. It’s like getting your dream home for less. For these reasons I think buying REO property is not just a good idea, it’s a great idea.
Are you frightened about buying an REO property because you don’t know all the ins and outs of the process? Don’t worry you aren’t alone. Every day at Island Advantage Realty, LLC we meet home buyers who have heard how affordable REO properties are but they are afraid the purchase process will be difficult, incomprehensible and rife with pitfalls.
There is an old Latin phrase, Carpe Diem, which literally translates to “Seize the Day”. Never has there been a more accurate phrase for the current REO market. If you have been sitting on the fence thinking about buying REO property, it’s time to kick it into gear and take action. There are a number of time sensitive issues that make this a particularly opportune moment to buy REO property.
The market is currently flooded with REO properties, providing a wide selection to choose from. Whether you want a fixer upper or a home that is move in ready, chances are the market has something for you, even in the most desirable neighborhoods.
REO properties aren’t for everyone. In fact it takes a specific kind of buyer to really enjoy buying an REO property. With a little inspiration from Jeff Foxworthy I have decided to make a list.
