Is there a difference on interest rates or do bank owned/REO homes have lower mortgage rates on a home loan compared to a regular sale home by paleobette7835647 from Austin, Texas. Feb 19th 2015
There will not be a difference in interest rate between a bank owned REO or a traditional sale.
Zero difference, unless you need to use a renovation loan to complete your purchase.. lenders require the property meet minimum property standards, and if it doesn't, then any deficiencies must be corrected prior to issuing a loan.. typically, with REO type properties, they are not in the best condition, and need work, and most banks will not do improvements to sell the property.. if this is the case with a home that your looking at, then you will most likely need to do an FHA 203K or conventional's HomeStyle renovation loan.. these loans will have higher interest rates and additional fees..
