Orlando, Fla.- February 29, 2008- Recent AOL article by Smartmoney.com associate editor Stacy Bradford featured Orlando real estate foreclosure expert Andy Tolbert. Bradford’s article discusses the five things you should know before buying a foreclosure property.
“While it’s always a good idea to get pre-approved for a mortgage before you start shopping for a home, it’s even more critical when you’re shopping for foreclosed properties. Even if you have stellar credit, some lenders won’t make a loan on a distressed property,†Andy Tolbert, a Sanford, Fla. based real estate investor who specializes in foreclosed properties, said. “Other lenders will only offer a mortgage if the house is in decent condition,†Tolbert added.
“If your loan officer is willing to make a loan on a foreclosed property, find out what criteria the home needs to meet in order to qualify for a mortgage. You can expect the lender to allow cosmetic repairs, but be unforgiving of termites and other serious fixes,†Tolbert continued.
