  Bank-Owned Properties and REO (FAQ) Search Properties | Free 7-Day Trial What is an REO? REO is an acronym for real estate owned and is industry jargon for foreclosure property repossessed by banks or lenders.

Success is not impossible, but to even set foot in the ring you must put in hours of due diligence and overcome myriad obstacles,

• Local Market Perspective: Cape Coral, Fla.
  
  The opportunity to own a home at affordable prices has never been greater, but getting to the closing table is so much more difficult. Many of the best deals in our area are bank-owned properties. In our city, the bank has taken the property back but they may not have paid all the liens from our code enforcement and generally speaking that does not come up until the final title search is done, so a delay is normal. Editor's Note: This is the first in a series of guest blog posts from members of the RealtyTrac Agent Network . The agents will be sharing their insights

• Local Market Perspective: Corona, Calif.
  
  I’m constantly hearing of agents submitting well above asking price offers on what some may say are above average homes, only to get rejected or beat out by buyer with large cash down deposits. In Corona, newly built foreclosures, with approximately 3,000 sq.-ft. of living space, are being under-priced by the bank, creating phenomenal bidding wars. It’s amazing what’s happening in Corona, Calif., a community in Riverside County Over the last month, I’ve witnessed over 500 properties go into pending status.
