REO Properties: Responsibilities, Education, and Opportunities for Real Estate Professionals
By Marc Gould 
Print Article
With real estate owned (REO) properties numbering in the millions, agents vying for new business opportunities will find an abounding REO market. With the right insurances in place, brokers will be able to both support their agents’ REO business while amassing new and successful real estate transactions throughout the year. With every new real estate niche, however, education is paramount to prosperity.
To address this need for advanced REO training, The Real Estate Buyer’s Agent Council (REBAC) teamed up with Ed Bugos, ABR®, BPOR, SFR®, a knowledgeable REO business specialist and instructor, to bring real estate professionals a comprehensive course on the expectations of REO business, titled REO Properties: Responsibilities, Education, and Opportunities for Real Estate Professionals.
Bugos offers the following tips to help answer your questions and assist you in creating an REO-specific plan for your brokerage.
What is a common misunderstanding about REO business?
A common misunderstanding is that a general real estate transaction business model can support yearly REO business. The truth is your brokerage could incur thousands of dollars in unexpected expenses come the end of the year without having the back-end transactional framework in place to support REOs.
What value can brokers gain by learning about REOs?
When an agent completes his/her first REO, the broker and brokerage must be prepared to handle any transactional issues that may occur. Plus, the more education brokers and agents receive, the smoother the business will be.
What future do you see in the REO market?
My best educated guess is that after the presidential election year, the REO market will get stronger and longer through 2015 and 2016. It looks to me like the market is readying for another REO flood, but, we’ll have to wait and see.
You’ve taught several REO Properties courses so far. How has the response been?
It’s exceeded my expectations. There is so much excitement from my end to teach and the students’ end to learn. Here is a true testament to this course. A student of mine had already completed an REO, but explained that the entire transaction process was complicated and extremely stressful. As I went through the policies and procedures associated with REO transactions, I kept hearing “Ah-ha!” It was a welcoming confirmation that a piece of important information had, until that moment, been a mystery to her and, subsequently, her broker.
What advice would you offer to brokers?
Be trainers within your company. Understand what your agents are doing or what they are up against and have a plan in place to back their business. If you know your agents are exploring different real estate opportunities, encourage them and become the source of knowledge.
Covering a range of topics, the REO Properties: Responsibilities, Education, and Opportunities for Real Estate Professionals course counts as an elective credit toward earning the Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR®) designation.
Students interested in signing up for the new course can visit training4RE.com to find a course in their area or log onto rebac.net to learn more.
A wholly-owned subsidiary of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), The Real Estate Buyer’s Agent Council (REBAC) is the world’s largest association of real estate professionals focusing specifically on representing the real estate buyer. With more than 30,000 active members, REBAC awards the Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR®) designation to REALTORS® who work directly with buyer-clients. To learn more visit REBAC.net.

California real estate opportunities attract Asian investors - PRWeb
Springfield, IL (PRWEB) May 15, 2012
The 2nd Chinese Investment in the US Real Estate Forum is to be drawing U.S. real estate developers, property owners, financial advisors, attorneys, investment bankers, and industry executives, and venture capitalists, among others, to be educated on the latest happenings in China-US real estate investment. The June 21, 2012 event, which will take place in Los Angeles, will be centered on real estate investments pouring in from China. Rapid growth in the Chinese economy has created a strong demand for the US real estate market. The number of wealthy Chinese is growing at 9.7% annually, according to the GroupM Knowledge - Hurun Wealth Report 2011. Additionally, Merrill Lynch and Capgemini’s Asia-Pacific Wealth Report 2008 shows that in 2007, high net-worth individuals in China placed 21% of their assets in real estate versus a worldwide average of 14%.

Buyers from China and Hong Kong also spent $1.71 billion on commercial property in the U.S. in 2011, more than quadruple their investment in 2008, says Real Capital Analytics. Chinese investors are interested in commercial projects, residential properties, hotels, golf courses, clubs, land, industrial warehouses, office buildings, and shopping centers. The Forum aims to help U.S. companies and individuals tap into more of this Chinese capital.
This year’s day-long event will feature some of the most experienced and knowledgeable individuals in the real estate industry. Scheduled speakers include Mr. Brian Su, CEO of Artisan Business Group, Inc. Mr. Guy Maisnik, Attorney and Partner Jeffer Mangels Bulter & Mitchell LLP (JMBM), Mr. Bernard P. Wolfsdorf, Managing Partner & Attorney, Wolfsdorf Immigration Law Group, Mr. David Appel, CPA & Senior Partner, Marcum LLP and Mr. Kevin Wright, President, Wright Johnson LLC Marcum LLP., and others
According to Mr. Brian Su, CEO of Artisan Business Group, Inc.,“Individuals or businesses looking for capital investment should not miss this important opportunity to network and make connections that will benefit their needs.”

Resource Real Estate Opportunity REIT, Inc. Acquires Bristol Apartments - Business Wire
REIT sponsored by Resource Real Estate, Inc. Buys 856-Unit Houston Property at 78 Percent Discount to Estimated Replacement Value¹
PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, the Resource Real Estate Opportunity REIT, Inc., sponsored by Resource Real Estate, Inc. (“Resource Real Estate”), announces the purchase of Houston-based Bristol Apartments. Resource Real Estate is a national real estate firm specializing in opportunistic and value-add investing in, and financing of, commercial real estate assets with a particular emphasis on multifamily properties.
The property was a Real Estate Owned (REO) asset, meaning it was foreclosed upon and bank owned, and purchased by the Resource Real Estate Opportunity REIT, Inc. for $11.4 million. This represents a 78 percent discount to the property’s estimated replacement cost of $53 million. In August 2010, Fannie Mae foreclosed on the property which had an outstanding loan balance of $18.6 million, as reported by Trepp.² Trimont Real Estate Advisors, acting as special servicer on behalf of Fannie Mae, sold the asset.
Bristol Apartments includes 856 units, approximately 691,000 rentable square feet and has an occupancy level of approximately 52 percent. Resource Real Estate Opportunity REIT, Inc. plans to invest additional capital to improve the overall condition of the property in order to bring all units to leasable condition, stabilize the occupancy rates and increase the property’s value by making it cash flow positive. Exterior painting, landscaping and significant upgrades to the common areas will be made in an effort to enhance the property’s appeal and marketability. Property amenities include a clubhouse, swimming pool, fitness center and playground. Resource Real Estate manages 10 other properties in the greater Houston area, totaling over 3,000 units.
The acquisition of the Bristol Apartments – a distressed multifamily REO property experiencing operational and capital deficiencies and in need of stabilization – is a good example of the type of properties that the Resource Real Estate Opportunity REIT intends to acquire. Bristol Apartments has excellent visibility and proximity to strong employment bases in the area including the William P. Hobby Airport, the Port of Houston, various medical facilities and retail establishments including Wal-Mart, Target and Macy’s.
¹Replacement value is estimated using the Marshall & Swift Commercial Estimator. The replacement cost does not include any depreciation.
²Trepp is the leading provider of information, analytics and technology for the CMBS, commercial real estate and banking markets.

Biltmore Estate in Asheville exploring wine market possibilities in China - Asheville Citizen-Times
ASHEVILLE — Three years ago the Biltmore Estate embarked on an ambitious plan to have its wine on sale in all 50 United States.
That was strictly a domestic ploy, an effort to boost market share from coast to coast, and it?s going great.
But if the estate plays its chardonnays right, it might be expanding into the mother of all markets: China.
The Biltmore Estate?s president for government and agricultural relations, Chuck Pickering, is part of a 40-business trade delegation visiting China, which has a population of 1.3 billion.
The idea is to help American businesses ?strike new deals, strengthen business ties, expand their market and support jobs for Americans,? according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
?This is going to be a good opportunity to understand what the market opportunity is in China,? said Jerry Douglas, president of the Biltmore Estate?s wine operation. ?Everybody is excited about the emerging consumer market there and how that?s been changing over the last 10-15 years.?
The Biltmore Estate is in year three of a five-year plan to expand its Biltmore brand wine sales. When it started, Biltmore wines were on sale in eight states; now it?s up to 26 and should reach 35 by the end of June.
?We have a desire to expand our business opportunities outside the 8,000 acres of the estate, and wine is on the leading edge of that,? Douglas said.
The estate sells 175,000 cases a year now, producing wine at four different price points that?s sold through chain grocery stores, retailers and restaurants. Biltmore has been selling wine commercially for 27 years, with an annual growth rate of 8 percent.
The trade mission will run through Wednesday, with stops in Chengdu and Shanghai, where participants will meet with dozens of Chinese producers, importers, buyers, distributors and investors.
?This is the largest USDA trade mission to date,? Michael Scuse, acting undersecretary for farm and foreign agricultural services, said in a statement. ?China and the United States share a special relationship, and we embrace this opportunity to demonstrate that our U.S. farmers, ranchers and producers are reliable suppliers of the highest-quality food and agricultural products. At the same time, USDA and our federal partners will continue to aggressively work to expand export opportunities and reduce barriers to trade.?
Leaders from six state departments of agriculture, including representatives from North Carolina, will also attend, along with other USDA officials. The companies attending range from cranberry marketers and vegetable growers to seafood distributors and pork producers.
The USDA notes that Chinese demand for bulk commodities like soybeans and cotton is high, and demand for American products such as meat and processed foods continues to grow. U.S. agricultural exports to China were $22.8 billion in fiscal year 2011 and exports from China to the United States were $9.3 billion.
The USDA?s largest overseas presence today is in China, with seven offices in five cities.
Douglas said the Biltmore Estate is just now putting out feelers about tapping into the market. He did not know yet how the estate may explore selling or distributing wine in China.
The estate has 90 acres of vineyards, which produces 18 percent of the estate?s total wine production. The estate partners with growers in California, where it also has some production, while some grapes are crushed and sent back to the estate as unfermented juice that is finished and bottled on the estate.
Asked if the estate would consider making Biltmore Estate-labeled wine in China for distribution there, Douglas said, ?You never say never, but that?s not something we?re looking at right now.?
