Frank Patrick, Property Preservation and Foreclosure Trash Out Specialist, writes how buying REO Homes is becoming the smart move in today’s housing market.

Scottsdale, Ariz. – July 14, 2010 – According to a recent article in Financial Planning Magazine, the author touts REO Homes as “the best real estate deal.”  Frank Patrick, foreclosure trash out and reo property specialist, recently cited and expounded upon this article in an article of his own.  Frank writes about the record number of foreclosures on the horizon, and the amount of REO Homes that this will bring to the market in the coming months.

In the artilcle on http://www.ASREOS.com, called “REO Listings: A Recognized Red-Hot Opportunity, Frank Patrick explains how REO buyers can generally expect prices that are up to a third less than the previous purchase price. Also, the attractiveness of an REO listing in a time of tight credit and a depressed housing market cannot be denied.

Frank writes, “Since the REO price is usually right, and there’s a good chance that, down the line, the REO buyer will end up making a sizeable profit on the property, there’s no question that the REO home market will continue to be a huge component of the real estate industry for the foreseeable future.”

Frank emphasizes that those interested in making real money in the real estate industry should investigate how to become an REO agent and how to get REO listings. “Training to become an REO agent and learning how to get REO listings will also continue to be a great career choice,” remarked Frank.
