Yes the bank should pay the commision and the closing costs.
Let us know how the deal progresses…
Usually with a bank you need CASH. On every reo I have put a offer on…it always comes back…all cash and show proof of funds.
Please HELP!!! Need insight on REO deal. - Posted by Stacey

The bank has a REO that?s worth 150k and has a first of 75k. I am attempting to get this property before it goes to the courthouse steps. They want me to put up 25k ? leaving a balance of 50K- and they will quick claim the property to me. I am getting all this through an agent that the property is listed through. The agent is expecting me to pay the commission on the purchase. Is this appropriate? Shouldn?t? the bank pay her commission?
How should I handle this? What should I do to cover myself on this deal? I?m pretty much a newbie and this will be my first deal. What contingencies (outs) should I place in the contract for this type of deal? I need to move on this fast, but I want to move correctly… Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
