buying a foreclosure or REO property with FHA loan in Los Angeles

[Aaron Kennedy]

HI, I'm looking to buy my first home and I've been told that it will be impossible to purchase an REO property with FHA because all of these properties sell to cash buyers. Are there properties that the banks have owned for several months and haven't sold? Wouldn't these be more likely to sell to someone like myself?

Short answer is no. Sorry man, the REO market is not what it use to be 10 years ago, and majority of these things are sold at auction to cash buyers.
