Bank Owned Property

If you drive down any street in any city or town in any area of the United States of America you will see a lot of property available for sale. Some of it is privately available from people trying to sell before the bank or other lending institution comes in and forecloses on it. Others have signs from one banking entity or another stating the property has been foreclosed and is available for sale.

Some of this property is residential, some of it is open land and some is even commercial. What they all have in common, if a lending institution has foreclosed them is that the place that foreclosed on them most likely has a lot more where that came from. In fact, most any place in the country that has lent money on land and had to star foreclosing, most likely has more funds tied up in the real estate sitting on its books than it does in liquid cash assets.

Banks don’t sell homes they deal in cash and cash related things. They have no way to market real estate and as a result once they begin to acquire holding of real estate it just sits and begins to choke the financial institution and makes the managers and stock holders very nervous about the future of the institution.

A bank or other institution would much rather have a large safe full of cash than a room full of books listing all the land, homes and businesses that it owns. They will find it hard to pay dividends and salaries by holding on to the property. So they will usually be a great place to approach with an offer to help them unload that property in exchange for a small amount of cash.

You can be assured that the businesses that lend money for real estate, whether it be a bank or mortgage company, have regular meeting to discuss the ever increasing amount of capitol that is being eaten up with foreclosed property. Banks especially hate to own it because they need the money available to loan to people who want to start or expand businesses or need money for one reason or another.

As a result of having too much bank owned property the economy will start to suffer rather rapidly because there is less money flowing so the banks get nervous and tighten the grip on the money they have. When they do that they do not lend as much and so credit, as a whole, becomes harder to get and as a result good people with good credit can be turned down for loans for legitimate reasons because the bank has changed the criteria by which it qualifies folks on loans. When there is less money to be loaned due to the bank owned property chocking the institution then the trickle down theory takes effect and the problem is multiplied and felt all over the economy from the bank president answering to shareholders all the way to the factory worker who can’t qualify for a car loan to get back and forth to work.
