HELP! Looking to purchase a home how difficult is it really to bid on one in foreclosure?

Asked Sun Jul 20 2008, 21:25 by Angela Toliv… - Midlothian - Financing - 6 answers

Mark Chovan answered:

A trustee represents the Bank, and is typically an attorney. You have to have cash to bid on pre-foreclosures.
If you want to purchase a foreclosed REO, you will have to submit proof of funding with a contract. Pre-Qualifying letter is required along with a contract. - Tue Jul 22 2008, 08:47

Will I get my investment back if we put handscraped hardwoods in my house? (Frisco, TX)

Asked Tue Jul 22 2008, 05:50 by Kara - Frisco - Home Selling - 4 answers

Mark Chovan answered:

Hi Kara,
Installing hardwoods would make your house more appealing to buyers. I would need more information regarding your home before making an opinion on whether or not it would increase the value.
You might want to search the MLS to look at other homes for sale in your sub-division. You could compare the upgrades, and amenities from other homes to yours.
You can search the MLS free through my site, and request a CMA report. - Tue Jul 22 2008, 07:20

With notes today about having to put down 5 to 10% to get a mortgage is it odd to ask for closing from the

Mark Chovan answered:

Chris,
Everything is negotiable, and buyers can contribute to your closing costs. Also remember many Agents like myself are willing to credit 1% of our commissions to you at closing as well.
On $400,000 1% would equate to $4,000 less cash you would need to close. - Fri Jul 18 2008, 07:14

Purchasing a home in Little Elm vs Plano????

Asked Thu Jul 17 2008, 15:53 by Imran - Little Elm - Home Buying - 3 answers

Mark Chovan answered:

Looking 5-years down the road for home values to return is great in my opinion. You can increase the amount of equity by finding a home selling below market value.
The recent trends show buyers not as interested in moving too far from Dallas, due to fuel, toll fees, cost of living etc.
You can get more home for you money in Little Elm at this time, compared to Plano, however the area you referred to in Plano has always been a great market. - Fri Jul 18 2008, 07:07
