Homepath Question on House Already in Negotiation
Hi All,
I'm still in the hunt for my first B&H property and have my eye on a homepath SFR in an up and coming area in Kingston, NY.
I finally got in touch with the Realtor and she let me know, by e-mail, that there is already an offer on the property and is being negotiated.
My question is, and the answer may be obvious, but is there a chance that I can still get an offer in and what is everyone's experience in this situation? Will Fannie negotiate with two (or more) prospective buyers? The property is not under contract, so I'm hopeful that I still have a shot but will not go above the price that works for my numbers.
The property is cheap enough so my plan is to do a cash deal and then re-fi out once I rehab and the title seasons.
My #'s have it cash-flowing at 265/mo. (2bd 1ba - could potentially be a 3bd which would be a huge win).
Thanks in advance!

Frank you need to look every prop over before you buy it inside and out when possible. Thats the beauty of the Fannie Freddie REO homes. Its not an auction home you cannot get inside. Certainly get a look inside and do your inspection which for me is a crawl underneath and the whole deal. If you still want it make your offer.
Good deals come often. Dont sidestep good practices and get in a hurry. It just hurts you in the end. Good Luck
