REO's and Foreclosures on the same street

REO's and Foreclosures on the same street

Hi All,

In my search for deals and I have come across a REO property that I think works for the BRRRR method. It is in an area that I believe is improving and has some future development (large luxury apartment complexes set to develop in the area). Researching this property, I found that their are two properties on the block that are in the process of being rehabbed, but there are also 4-6 other properties that are either REO or in pre-foreclosure, some, right not door to one another.

My thought is that these are all properties that I can acquire at a low cost, rehab, rent, and then refinance to return the capital.

Is there something I am missing, or any reason I should be concerned that there are so many REOs and foreclosures on the same block?  Or should I look at this as a great opportunity if the deals make sense?

Thanks for any input!

    Just because they are in foreclosure, or already foreclosed, doesn’t mean you can buy them at a bargain.

    Thanks Wayne Brooks - I understand just because they are foreclosures they may not be bargains. That’s why I said they would be opportunities IF the deals made sense. What I am more curious about is should I be concerned that there are so many on one block?

    They will likely hurt your appraisal, assuming they are in rough condition and sell for less than the properties in good condition.
