Realty Times - Foreclosures Selling Near, At Traditional Listing Prices

 Truth. Everyone of my REO properties are listed at fair market value.  Asset managers are willing to wait out the 4-6 month market time in order to find that buyer willing to pay market value and occupy REO homes that are in average marketable condition. Utilities are on, pools are being maintained, and repairs are being made.

Rent Prices Continue to Rise Faster than Asking Prices

For the Dallas and surrounding areas, this is so true. I have seen rental values spike above the market mortgage rates to the point where some landlords are making $500 a month in positive income after paying their PIMI. Great news for landlords. For renters, not as much.

Even if you have had a bankruptcy and/or foreclosure, don't think that you are out of the housing purchase market.  If it has been 3 years and you have been working on improving your credit, you may have a good chance at qualifying for an FHA loan program.

I have a couple of great loan officers that I work with that would be happy to determine if you can qualify.
