for foreclosure properties Do I need to have full amount at hand?

Some websites are telling that you must have a cashier check or cash in hand for foreclosure properties, If I have bank which is ready to give me loan, Is that not going to work ?

If you see a home you like, most require what is called an EMD (Earnest Money Deposit) of at least 1K to be put in with the offer. You will still need to have your downpayment, and closing costs at the end. You can possible get the seller to offer you concessions, in which case the closing costs are rolled into the loan, but you will still be responsible for your downpayment.

So, if you’re trying to get a 100K foreclosed property, you’ll make the offer with the 1K. You’ll offer 100K plus concessions. If you don’t want to go over 100K, the seller will have to drop their price to 94K so that you can roll the 6% concessions into the loan to make it a loan amount of 100K.

Concessions are helpful for people who don’t have liquid cash for closing.

You can’t get out of your downpayment, though.

    if you property at sherriff auction you need maybe 10% of cash that day. each county would have their own requirements.

    if just buying a foreclosed property from a lender then you buy it like any other property and close in about 30 days after an offer is accepted.

    No. They need immediate payments for those foreclosure properties.

    It depends on the lender and the property.

    Many foreclosed properties are not in good enough condition to meet a banks requirements for financing, and for these properties the seller requires cash only offers. They do require proof of funds before they will accept and offer, or even negotiate with you.

    Some foreclosed properties are in good enough condition for a buyer to get bank financing, but the majority are not.

    1) Your bank will supply the cashiers check for the amount you are financing. A commitment letter from your bank should suffice. Or use an escrow company. You will need to supply the balance (%) that you are not financing yourself; again preferably with an Escrow or Title company to protect you.

    2) If you utilize a realtor who knows how to work "short-sales" with the foreclosing bank, you will be able to pay less than the full foreclosed amount since it includes all kinds of interest & fees. If you do not do this, you will pay your website the difference without knowing it.

    Some want a cash deal. Some want the Earnest Money Deposit. Many of these sites are scams, beware!
    Suggest working through local realtor.
