Foreclosed homes & For Sale by Owner homes - Real Estate Agents Welcome? My husband and I have had our eye on a house that is a foreclosed home. This house is being represented by several local real estate companies. My husband and I went to the bank to inquire about the procedures that need to be done to get a loan. I am a student (college) and he works. He has been with his job for a little over a year and has all the check stubs to prove it. The bank said that until I get a job, it would be impossible for them to loan anything to me but they did consider him. They ran his credit and found an outstanding hospital bill he was unaware that still existed (we plan to make payments). Therefore, they told us that they could not help us unless we had someone that could get the loan and purchase the house in their name. Meanwhile, the person who purchases the house (with the bank loan) could be selling it to us and after a year of responsible verifiable payments (receipts) that we could have the house signed over to us through the bank. Since this house is foreclosed, is there any other way to get this house, such as making payments to the bank that owns this house? As of right now, we have no idea which bank owns this house however, it is not the bank that we use. If we can not do anything to get this home, we are also interested in looking for a house that is “for sale by owner”. What kind of documentation would we need for someone to consider selling their home to us? Are there any certain laws about particular documentation that a seller would have to abide by? We live in Alabama and are first time home buyers.

Questions about buying For Sale By Owner Homes.? So I'm wanting to buy a home, but in my area (near seattle), the prices are absurd, and I'm a guy who likes to save as much money as possible. I've heard of people selling their houses For Sale By Owner, and wondering if it is a good way to go, and what the ups and downs are. I've also got a few specific questions. 1. Does this mean you make payments directly to the seller? and if so, Is it common to find sellers that will charge very little, or no interest? (I really want to just make large payments and pay it all off in about 5-8 years) 2. Are FSBO houses generally much cheaper? 3. Do realators search for FSBO houses, or is that out of their realm? 4. Is there alot less public exposure with FSBO houses, meaning less competition and easier to find hidden gems that haven't been looked at by every real estate agency in town? 5. Does FSBO generally mean the house is paid off, or might they still have a mortgage? 6. Do you ever find FSBO houses sold below their value? Thanks.
