Kathy Kennebrook Discusses the Advantages to Working With Sellers of Over Leveraged Properties

Kathy Kennebrook believes that in the current market, there are many opportunities to work with sellers whose properties are over leveraged. What she means by over leveraged is a seller who owes more on their property than the property is worth. This situation makes it virtually impossible for the seller to get the property sold even when it is in excellent condition.

Kathy Kennebrook understands that the reason that these properties provide ideal opportunities for the real estate investor is that since the seller can’t sell the home on their own and they can’t afford to list it with a realtor, they are left “between a rock and a hard place” with no solution in sight. In many cases, these homes are in pre-foreclosure because the seller can no longer afford to make the payments. When a home is in pre-foreclosure it creates many opportunities for the real estate investor to both make a good deal and create a solution for the seller where there was none before.

When a seller is in pre-foreclosure there are many ways a real estate investor can work with them. The real estate investor usually has the skill necessary to negotiate a short sale or a forbearance agreement with the mortgage company, which creates equity, making it possible for the real estate investor to buy the property and make money on the deal. This also solves the seller’s problem and saves their credit, making it possible for them to purchase another home in the future.

Finding the owners of homes that are over leveraged is fairly easy. The real estate investor could obtain a list of people whose homes are in pre-foreclosure, or they can simply obtain a list of people who own homes which are over leveraged.
