I bought an abandoned foreclosure in 2009. It was turned into a HUD house. i paid 9900$ cash--$11k total with tax/fees. I gutted it and remodeled it completely in 6 months while living in my old house for free saving my unpaid mortgage payments. I HATE paying interest and have been debt free ever since. I do all the work myself so there is no labor cost. Im a licensed builder by trade. I got burned buying a foreclosure right before the market crashed in 2008 and i couldnt sell it and was buried in debt so i rented it out for a year then walked away. It wasnt meant to be as far as timing went so i walked away from my own house too as it wasnt worth what was owned thanks to the banks destroying home values with their policies. I looked around for cheap foreclosures and got out of debt by paying cash for a fixer upper instead of paying a mortgage for 30 years. My credit was bad for 10 years but now its 800 again and i still dont have any debt.
I brought a house in 2010 in Baltimore city for 8k through homepath , I did the same by doing the demo and renovation. The neighborhood now is worth around $150k. I wish I were smarter than , I would have brought many more at that time , prices now are ridiculous.
I threw my hat in the ring just before 2020. It was the last time you could get a good rate for prime credit. Now folks are paying near 8 percent for "prime" rates. I definitely won that battle as my house just went over double value this past week. I chuck 4% of the total principal each month as a payment so I will be done in 22 months (of a 30 year) as I have been doing it for 3 months. Its the ultimate fixer upper, but I know all the trades and don't know all the codes, but I learn them quick before getting into a project. One tip I can give home builders is if you have a variety of issues, just lose the drywall and expose the framing up front. Don't try to save old drywall. Tear it out, get your wiring, plumbing, HVAC done, and button it up. If you are doing any basement plumbing, be sure to install a backwater valve before pouring the crete. I can't imagine what this house is going to be worth when I fix everything. Going to be nice having all that extra principal money to put toward repairs. Not just basic repairs either. Premium repairs like getting insulated vinyl siding to give you an edge during those sub zero temperatures. Installing a jetted tub to replace a basic tub. Creating a much fancier basement bathroom vs the shower head attached to a sewer main with a U bolt it started with. I can't get to 800 because you can't have a clean slate and get that high. Always have to tie yourself up with credit usage. I can get to about 790 with modest credit usage and no debts other than house. The only way it gets higher is if I charge 3-4k and get it paid off within the month of charging.
As a long-time home rehabber, your recommendations on what not to do are SPOT ON! Your advice to pay contractors and handymen for their upfront quotes is brilliant, as it makes them more willing to partner with you at reasonable prices. For budgeting money and time, I plan for costs to be 50% over my initial estimates and everything to take three times longer than I originally thought.
Flood zones. Lost my home from storm surge ,Sanibel. Flood insurance doesn't cover storm surge, at least that's what my agent on MidAtlantic coast island. Make sure you check if you live in storm surge area.
@@TheRealWayneTurner It's a fact I learned while living in Mid-Atlantic on an island. Got outta there and retired in a mobile home. Home stood strong all fancied up new siding, high impact windows, new AC/heat. Lost some of the hurricane roof, and ac was standing on her head, no broken windows, new doors were fused locked from salt water, 8 ft in the house,, fridge was perched, suspended sideways with door open exposing moldy stuff. The whole place, minus what I packed in car, molded. Had to pay to demolish and remove. There was no insurance offered. Hey, that's another issue with coastal property. Make sure you can get home owners insurance if you live near water. Or anywhere in Florida! Lol
Your agent was full of crap. Storm surge is covered by flood insurance. Always verify what these guys tell you. www.fema.gov/fact-sheet/wind-damage-versus-floodwater-damage-what-you-need-know-when-filing-claim
I bought a place that had been sold on seller financing, buyer didn’t make payments and seller reclaimed it. I was a little nervous buying, hoping to avoid a difficult seller and any legal fights. Turned out to be a totally legit and awesome seller. Really happy with how it turned out.
AND plumbing! If it has set through winter with no heat on there are going to be frozen busted pipes. With a slab floor you will be in so much trouble.
I learned that the hard way thousands of dollars later live in New Hampshire on the Maine line went to work in Maine while fixing up the place they stole about everything I own. And it was a money pit.. if I had a cord of wood in the basement 1700 cement blocks I almost put a cord of wood in that basmemt 5 gallons of diesel fuel in a case of beer we'd had a barbecue😂 you got to know when to give up and you're going to have good neighbors finally walked away thank God.. I grew up in the construction business my dad was professional builder by trade but if he was alive at the time he would have just slapped me before I bought it😂 sometimes you can't fix stupid.. but I learned a very good lesson. . next piece of property I buy buy there will be no neighbors only trees😂 On a good note I had a view that people come from all around the world to see. I'll never make that mistake again. In Carroll county New Hampshire land of the mountains and lakes you might as well build something out of solid masonry fort Knox keep your neighbors out😂
You only very briefly touched on the actual buying process. Going in, you will likely be competing against seasoned pros, - like yourself, savvy real estate agents, big moneyed investors and others experienced in the game. Would you recommend having a relator in your corner before going into it?
Wyane, this was posted just for me. Yesterday morning, this was the 1st video in my notifications right before I went to my 1st real estate tax auction. I did watch this before I went. I did bid on 2 properties yesterday and lost both thanks to you!😊 After I went over my cap by 10k, a Wayne Turner voice popped in my head & and said, "You're getting emotional." So I stopped. Thank you for this video!🤍
I enjoy your channel Wayne. I’ve seen a few of your videos in the past, and the occasionally pop up in my feed. I recently subscribed and have been watching your videos. Keep up the good work. You share very valuable insights from your direct experience. 👍🏼👍🏼
Good video with helpful tips. Good advice about the "Flood Insurance". In the county where I live there is a river that is winding and long. It goes all four directions of the compass. The Army Corps of Engineers built a dam (and formed a lake) to help control spring floods, and usually it has been helpful, but occasionally there has been some flooding. For some strange reason several people build a house within a hundred yards of a river or stream, or contractors build homes, and the city, county or State government officials allow such foolishness/silliness. Now every house within one mile of the riverbank must have Flood Insurance within 2 counties. It is added on to the monthly house payment.
Wayne always you have a good advice. Always preach to get title. Insurance is worth the value. I am also seeing what you were talking about. People were so angry for losing their home. They Did destroy the inside and the banks will not cover it and right now they’re not budging trying to get full market value I have tried numerous times. don’t forget the squatters it’s starting to get worse. I was viewing a home in Diamondhead, Mississippi and me and the realtor was just stunned and law-enforcement. Couldn’t do nothing about it watch out for this.
Wayne, I am finally ready to buy, but find I cannot access the County sales auction houses for inspection. And these are auctions-- they are definitely saying I it's mine once I buy, WHATEVER the condition. Do you know how to find out the interior condition or backyard condition before I bid? Thank you.
Hi Wayne, By any chance you teach how to buy the first foreclosure property in cash? I am a Realtor in Orlando Fl and I own my company that we buy properties for cash but have not had luck
I'm a property preservation vendor in Slidell LA since 2010. I really appreciate this info. I have been considering real estate but have 0 experience. I have good leads and get all the initial secure work orders.
Mr. Turner, thank you so much for the most valuable information in this video. I’m some what knowledgeable about home buying and fixing stuff in my own home but your information has taken my knowledge so much further. I thank you so much for your kindness and time for putting together the info for us out in the public trying to make good home buying decisions. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I’m so appreciative!❤😊
I watch your videos a couple times a week. I have learned something from every one. Some of these things I already use but now I know I'm doing things the right way. Thanks
Careful for sure, foreclosure in our area, house completely trashed (teardown) land also trashed with junk,garbage, tires, price is really just land and even that requires money to cleanup to make usable.
An item that has always been on my list for distressed purchases and forclosure is for me one type of distress purchase among many is to have in addition to having the financing/money ready and if fact more important is to have your advisors in line. By that I mean a realtor for comps, trades ready to give estimates etc. so that during the due dilligance time an assesment can be made w/o the stress of trying to get/locate a roofer/trades to inspect the roof, or a home inspection service that will do a peliminary overview of major items needing costs then being able to advise your advisors of known problems. Being to assure costs at this level reduces stress by orders of magnitude and gives a fact based go or no go decision to back out or complete the purchase. Ray Stormont

I believe there's an abandoned, foreclosure in my neighborhood. How do I go about finding its current status, or who may presently own it? Thanks for all the great vids!
i agree, if you want a thorough assessment, you really should pay a pro to check everything like a home inspector then a contractor or 3 who charge for a detailed bid/report etc... if you just call folks for bids especially free bids... you wont get much details... every big roofing company wants to replace the roof. every big hvac company wants to replace the ac system. they dont want to find the leak and patch it.. and they dont want to look at anything else but what their biz is focused on.... you want to find those pros that know about it all. :) and they are not going to give you a free bid. and it wont be 20 bucks... be prepared to pay them at least $100/hr it could save you thousands.
Title policy does not cover mechanics liens within a certain time frame of purchase. This is a gamble that anyone and everyone makes when making realestate purchases
@@ChloeCarter-kd7gz Actually, I'm way ahead of the game. I'm even considering early retirement myself.I let Katherine C Boone handle all my-portfolio .
Thanks Wayne! Always a pleasure to watch your videos, I live in Miami Florida, anyone you know that can advice me in identifying real opportunities down here?
House bought is on sheriff’s sale, previous owner came back by broken in the door, got arrested, now file claim say new owner/ purchaser damages their personal property that still remains, now trail coming, any obligation?
Most of this does not apply to buying a foreclosure at tax deed auction. Refundable deposit? Nope, too bad so sad. Title insurance? Nope, try again in 3 years if the previous owner (or a lien holder you didn’t know about) finds a way to take the property back, improvements and all. Eviction? So much more. The condition of the property is a big deal but all of these challenges stack on top of it.
Appreciate you for the message I'm retired divorced want to purchase small home with few Acres any suggestions, God bless you & to Hank you ( Michigan)
You don't have to but the only greater risk would be buying sight unseen and waiving the inspection. I am getting a title policy and specialized inspections as appropriate, i.e. septic system inspection.
Fat chance you will get a 20% down loan! More likely it will be a 30% down loan. If I wanted to pay cash I could and the banks still demanded a 30% down. The only way you will get a 20% down loan is if it will be your primary residence.
Never! buy a forclosure with someone in it. My state after the sale the original owners have up to a FULL YEAR of actions they can take to stay in the property.
@TheRealWayneTurner Hmm you say banks wont wait around on you... but if its a foreclosure arent you still dealing with the owner? im confused.... explain why the bank matters if its not an REO....
What happens when the Gov't. comes along and expands the flood zone maps and now your in a flood zone when you were not when the property was purchased ?
20 to 30 ....if I know you and have a history on projects....never a charge for estimate...if they are 'Investors ' I've never worked with ....I may give you a ballpark number....I've found after 25 years as a remodel builder most of these do not happen . They always ...always think it will cost much less than it actually does.. ..if we have a good working relationship I will make the project happen now.....and complete on schedual....general info for anyone that can use it....great chanel here!!and top notch information
Please be careful with what you’re teaching people; tip 2 said “anytime you buy a foreclosure you can have the property inspected and your deposit will be returned if you decide not to buy it”. I feel like that can be VERY misleading for beginners, who typically don’t understand the difference between a foreclosure sale and an REO sale. I appreciate your tips and most of them are great, so not trying to give you a hard time. I just think it’s important to be careful with your wording. There is absolutely no contingency period when buying at the foreclosure auction aka sheriffs sale in every state that I’m aware of. I also have made offers on REO foreclosures where the bank does not allow an inspection contingency (particularly in recent times since the markets have gotten hotter than usual). Anyway I really wish that you would have explained that you’re specifically only talking about bank owned properties because almost none of these tips apply to what I consider to be a true foreclosure sale, but I do agree that these are great tips for folks that are looking at buying REO /bank owned properties on the MLS. Mahalo, Greg from Maui Home Buyers
Foreclosure look good up front But you never know whats behind the doors.... Fix them up at cost...the property taxes costs insurance GOES UP! UP! AND UP.. WHY CAUSE U IMPROVED THE VALUE OF THAT PROPERTY.. jb.ok
Yes, foreclosure during those years are really house in good shape. Only the owner finances are not in good shape. Good thing you have funds available in good timing.
THERE IS NO LICENSE INVOLVED BUYING ONE.... BUT IF U WANT TO SELL THEM U WILL NEED A PERMIT LOCALLY EACH JURISDICTIONS DIFFERENT...OR BETTER BE A FORECLOSURE SPECIALIST... JB ok
@NickFuller-p2f those who live in someone else's home and rent or borrow someone else's money always have every excuse under the Sun why they are not responsible for making their agreed financial obligations stay in debt and stay mad my friend 🤣😜✌️

How do u pay for a foreclosure house if i have cash 💸 do i need to put it in the bank or how does it work?

hi Wayne
do i have to to get title policy even for regular house purchase ( not foreclosure one) ?
You don't have to but the only greater risk would be buying sight unseen and waiving the inspection. I am getting a title policy and specialized inspections as appropriate, i.e. septic system inspection.
Great information 👍
So I lost my job two years ago taking care of my mother all of a sudden. I have 70 K and 830 credit score. can I still buy a house or a foreclosure?
Buy a cash deal
Interesting 💯

20 to 30 ....if I know you and have a history on projects....never a charge for estimate...if they are 'Investors ' I've never worked with ....I may give you a ballpark number....I've found after 25 years as a remodel builder most of these do not happen . They always ...always think it will cost much less than it actually does.. ..if we have a good working relationship I will make the project happen now.....and complete on schedual....general info for anyone that can use it....great chanel here!!and top notch information
Please be careful with what you’re teaching people; tip 2 said “anytime you buy a foreclosure you can have the property inspected and your deposit will be returned if you decide not to buy it”. I feel like that can be VERY misleading for beginners, who typically don’t understand the difference between a foreclosure sale and an REO sale. I appreciate your tips and most of them are great, so not trying to give you a hard time. I just think it’s important to be careful with your wording. There is absolutely no contingency period when buying at the foreclosure auction aka sheriffs sale in every state that I’m aware of. I also have made offers on REO foreclosures where the bank does not allow an inspection contingency (particularly in recent times since the markets have gotten hotter than usual).
Anyway I really wish that you would have explained that you’re specifically only talking about bank owned properties because almost none of these tips apply to what I consider to be a true foreclosure sale, but I do agree that these are great tips for folks that are looking at buying REO /bank owned properties on the MLS.

I understand, in those cases the terms are outlined ahead of time which means it would not be applicable ie, all cash due at the time of sale.

In CA if you sale within 18 months you need to disclose all the information of the contractors.
# 11 is how much the Government is going to bleed you in taxes. # 12 in how much the insurance company is going to bleed you for coverage.

Yes, foreclosure during those years are really house in good shape. Only the owner finances are not in good shape. Good thing you have funds available in good timing.
In 2023 fema fukked me on flood plain changes along with others. Likely cost me 100k.

Where’s the logic in paying for a quote? You think the contractor is going to give you a small discount?
This is not the case in Ohio.
What isn't?
I hate to upset you people but if you're not paying cash for it you can't afford it in the first place ✌️

@NickFuller-p2f those who live in someone else's home and rent or borrow someone else's money always have every excuse under the Sun why they are not responsible for making their agreed financial obligations stay in debt and stay mad my friend 🤣😜✌️
