How to Purchase
REO DIRECT SOURCE
Criteria and Process
Criteria
Key Components of an Investor:
• Ready to take action
• Financially able (liquid funds or line of credit)
• Willingness to complete the transaction
All investors and buyers must meet the criteria to be able to purchase a portfolio.
This is easily satisfied by filling out and submitting a Purchase Order/LOI, NCND Agreement
and Proof of Funds (POF).
Required Forms:
Purchase Order Request / LOI (Letter of Interest)
We have combined a purchase order and "LOI" form to include all the necessary information to help process the direct buyer's interest.
• Price range
• Geographic locations
• Quantity of properties desired
• Level of repairs (cosmetic, some rehab, no rehab, full rehab, etc)
• Miscellaneous information (elaborate on any information related to portfolio purchase)
Non-Circumvention Non-Disclosure ("NCND") Agreement
The buyer may be requested to sign and NCND agreement to receive the portfolio list. This document serves to keep proprietary information discreet between parties, especially if the seller and buyer do not know each other and are connected by an intermediary (known as buyer mandates or brokers) to complete the transaction.
Proof of Funds ("POF")
All portfolio requests must accompany a proof of funds submission. Investors need to substantiate they have sufficient liquid funds to purchase portfolios. This is an industry standard. In real estate, a home buyer demonstrates their ability to buy a home by being pre-approved for a mortgage loan. When buying REO bulk portfolios, mortgage financing is not available; therefore a buyer must show proof of funds (liquid funds).

Demonstrate and Safe Guard "Proof of Funds" Information
Bank or Line of Credit Statement: before submitting a bank statement, black out the account number, however the investor/buyer's name must be seen on the document. The investor/buyer's name on the bank statement must match the name on the Purchase Order Request form. A minimum investment dollar amount should be reflected on the statement.
Escrow Account: Place the minimum dollar amount into an escrow account, which makes this a simple step to verify funds on your behalf. We use a disinterested 3rd party escrow service for most transactions.
Bank Proof of Funds Letter: You may use any official bank document from your bank to authenticate you are qualified to do this transaction. A bank officer can draft a letter on your behalf on their official letterhead confirming the current funds in your account. The letter must include the direct contact name and number of the bank officer who provided the letter. We will contact the bank officer to verify that they drafted the letter on your behalf and the dollar amount of funds available. The account must match the name on the Purchase Order Request form.
Proof of Funds Letter – other financial institutions: A letter from your private lending source or any other document that substantiates that you have funds to complete a transaction. We will verify the letter, prior to accepting it as a POF document.

An Industry Standard
We will not entertain requests to review lists of available properties until the buyer provides "Proof of Funds". The procedures and rules are established by the banks and other institutional sellers for disposal of their assets.

Conference Call: We will call the buyer to verify the order requested. We work on behalf of the buyer, it is important to speak with the decision maker directly. Closing the transaction in an efficient and timely manner is important. Depending on the situation, we may allow the buyer to have one intermediary on the call (buyer mandate, buyer rep.).
2.) Forms
Upon completion of the conference call, we will request a Proof of Funds ("POF").

We work on a First Come – First Served basis. We have many interested buyers and we cannot hold onto portfolio packages, in many cases these packages move within hours of us receiving them. Buyers are given a 48 hour period for due diligence.
