31 Questions You Need To Ask Before Buying A Foreclosed Property (As part of due diligence)

Have you ever tried calling up a bank to inquire about a foreclosed property that interests you and actually forgot some of the questions you were supposed to ask?

You then quickly say thanks, hang up, and you’re too embarrassed to make another call when you remember the questions you forgot to ask.

I’ve been there and I know how it feels. However, there is a solution for this.

All you need is practice and a ready set of questions that can serve as your script so you can ask questions like a seasoned real estate investor. So here you go…

31 Questions you need to ask before buying a foreclosed property…

Real Estate = Big Money

  1. What are the payment terms? You need to find out what’s the minimum down payment, how long are the payment terms, interest rates, and whether the interest rates are fixed, and the monthly amortization.
  2. Can you give details about the property like the type of property (single detached, town house, multi-door apartment etc.) number of bedrooms, toilet and bath, parking slots, etc?
  3. Can I buy the property without the need to go through a public auction? This is an offshoot of my experience with pre-auction bids.
  4. Is the foreclosed property occupied? Read: Why we don’t recommend buying occupied foreclosed properties (even if they are cheap)
  5. If there are occupants, have they already agreed in writing that they are leaving the property by the time it gets sold? If not, move on to your next property or say thank you and hang up. Trust me on this!
  6. If the occupants will be leaving, what is the buyer’s assurance? You need to determine if the seller will give back all the money you may have paid by then like your show money and down payment if in case the occupants don’t honor the agreement to leave.
  7. Does the property have a clean title?
  8. Can I have a copy of the Title? You will need this to get a certified true copy at the registry of deeds plus trace-back (a trace-back is the previous TCT or CCT which has been cancelled and replaced by the current one due to a transfer of ownership), including a copy of the mother title if the title is a CCT. When you get a certified true copy, check for any annotated mortgages, liens, encumbrances, adverse claims, etc. The new TCT/CCT should be clean while the trace-back would normally include the mortgage amount, which is what the bank needs to recover. Hint: This helps when deciding how much you are willing to pay when submitting an offer. If the title is still under the name of the previous owner, the bank is most probably still in the process of consolidating the title(examples: Buena Mano Yellow Tag and Red Tag Properties)
  9. Who shoulders the Capital Gains Tax (CGT) or Creditable Withholding Tax (CWT)?
  10. If the buyer shall be shouldering the CGT or CWT, how much would it be? You should ask the bank or the seller to come up with the computation so that there will be no surprises and you can include this in your analysis. To learn more about CGT and CWT, you may want to read my previous posts about CGT and CWT.
  11. How much is the Documentary Stamp Tax? Ask for a computation and verify if it’s correct.
  12. How much is the annual real property tax and is it updated?
  13. If the real property tax is not updated, Who shall shoulder the updating of the real property tax up to the time you buy the property? Usually, real property taxes of foreclosed properties are left unpaid for a number of years resulting in a significant amount in arrears and penalties. Normally the seller does the updating but you should verify this.
  14. Are there any other taxes applicable to the purchase of the property like VAT, etc? If yes, how much? Again, you should avoid any surprises that could eat up all your profits and could even result in a loss for you.
  15. If the property you are looking at is a condo, are there any arrears in the monthly dues?
  16. If there any arrears in monthly dues, who shoulders the updating?
  17. How much are the monthly dues per square meter of floor area and how much per month in total?
  18. For properties in subdivisions or villages, Are there any arrears in the homeowners’ association dues and who shoulders this?
  19. Aside from homeowners’ association dues, are there any other expenses you will have to pay and how much?
  20. Are there any arrears for utilities like water/electricity?
  21. If there are arrears for utilities like water/electricity, who shall shoulder the updating of the arrears?
  22. Are there service entrances for electricity/water connections for the property to begin with?
  23. If electricity/water connections are not available, How much would it normally cost for a connection to become available for your property?
  24. If electricity/water connections are available, how much would a reconnection cost?
  25. When shall the buyer be given authority to renovate the property or take control of it? The earlier you can renovate a property and have it ready for occupancy so it can be sold or leased, the better. Some banks give control of the property once the Contract-To-Sell (CTS) has been finalized or when the title has been transferred to the name of the buyer in case bank financing is through a mortgage.
  26. How much can I have the property rented out or what are the rentals for comparable properties in the same area?
  27. How old is the property? Of course a newer property is more desirable but an old property that is in good shape could also indicate a high build quality that could mean the property is built to last.
  28. What is the condition of the property? You need to find out early on if major repairs are needed.
  29. Is the property accessible? You can also ask for a copy of the vicinity map and directions.
  30. Are there any schools, churches, markets, hospitals, etc. nearby? You can verify this using the info you’ll get from question #29.
  31. Ask for any details about the property that may affect finding tenants or buyers, etc. For example, has there been a murder/suicide on the premises of the property, etc. I got this tip from my broker. She told me her experience in having difficulty selling one foreclosed property where someone had died and she swore she will avoid such cases in the future. I made sure that she was not talking about the property I got through her. =)

Why I am sharing this list of questions

This is the set of questions I use as part of my due diligence. I just added some more after reviewing my recent acquisition of a foreclosed property and noticed that I overlooked some of the details. I’m just lucky that things turned out okay for me.

I’m sharing this list so that it can help you avoid making the same mistake I did when I missed important property details, when it’s your turn to do your due diligence.

Tips when using this list

You can use this list of questions as is, or you may choose to add or remove questions to suit your needs, just print this and have it handy when you call the bank to inquire.

Don’t forget to take down the answers you get (so you won’t forget) and always ask questions while smiling so you’ll come across as friendly and build rapport.

Try to keep the conversation free flowing and the call should only take about 10 to 15 minutes.

Got anything to add?

I really believe this list of questions would be a big help especially to new real estate investors, I just wish I had a similar list when I was starting.

Do let me know if I may have left out anything by leaving a comment below so I may add it here.

Thanks!

  1. Thank you for sharing this vey precious list to us Sir Jay. May God bless you more abundantly than ever! And may He bless your health and your heart more too!

    Reply
    • Hi Girly, it means as of the last time Pag-IBIG checked, the property has no illegal occupants. However, please take note that it is possible for properties classified as unoccupied actually have illegal occupants later, especially if the property has no caretakers from Pag-IBIG.

  2. Hello Sir Jay!

    If the remarks for an acquired asset is “for title consolidation” does the new home owner needs to settle the title consolidation? Or is it the Pag-Ibig Fund who will process the title consolidation? Please advise. Thank you and God Bless!

    Reply
    • Hi Jem,

      Pag-IBIG will process the consolidation, but it can take a very long time as mentioned in the FAQ for Pag-IBIG foreclosed properties:

      12. What does it mean if a title is FOR CONSOLIDATION?

      When a property’s title (TCT/CCT) is “FOR CONSOLIDATION”, it means it is still under the name of the former owner/original borrower and Pag-IBIG has not yet transferred the property under their name. The process of transferring the title of a foreclosed property/acquired asset to Pag-IBIG is called “CONSOLIDATION” and it can take a long time depending on the completeness of the documents required for the transfer of the title.

      God bless you too!

  4. Hi Sir Jay, thank You for this, i would like to ask if it is ok to purchase a forclosed having Title for consolidation status,?
    Thank You, More power 🙂

    Reply
    • Hi Arvie, depends on the reason. If it’s just a matter if time (Title consolidation is ongoing), this is okay.

      However, if the title remains for consolidation because the bank is looking for a document (or a document is missing) required for the title consolidation/transfer, be very careful before proceeding with the purchase because it can take years (based on our experience for one property we purchased). If you intend to keep the property for your own use for a long time and you don’t need to the title transferred under your name quickly, this is also okay. But if you are going to flip the property quickly, the delay can cause complications.

      Reply
    • Hi Josephine, consolidated title is the term the banks’ use to say that the property title has been transferred already and is under their name.

  5. Hi Michael, hindi pa masyadong ginagamit escrow services dito sa pinas, kahit kami, hindi kami-nag-e-escrow. Ina-outsorce lang namin yung paglakad nung pag transfer ng titulo. Dati sa OMI (pag within Metro Manila nasa Php15K per transfer yung service fee nila), pero may bago na silang company, will feature it here pag nagstart na sila.

    Hiwalay pa yung pag survey. Yung last relocation survey naim nung 2016, nasa 15K yung binayad namin sa geodetic engineer.

    Reply
  6. Sir Jay, kapag bumibili po ba kayo ng property. How do you handle the closing? Gumagamit po ba kayo ng escrow services or title company? Kung oo po, anong company po and how much ang service nila sa inyo kasama land survey (kung meron)? Salamat po!

  7. Good Day Mr. Jay Castillo, your blogs is really very nice and informative I was considering buying foreclosed house and lots in our subdivision in the foreseen future hence I found the price of the house and lots too costly. Does the posted Selling Price of the house and lot can be bidded less 40% and be able to get it. Honestly, I am aware of the price of the house and lot since I am leaving in the same subdivision and the bank marked up by 1 Million Pesos from the original price (10 years ago) knowing that not much upgrading was done in the past. Kindly guide me on what will be the justifiable bid that I can submit to the bank that will allow me to win and be able to get my selected property. Thanks and God Bless. e-mail me please at luisgonzagal@yahoo.com

  10. Hi Sir. Just wanna ask for some piece of advice. I am currently working for a landholding company selling foreclosed properties. Now for this instance, we have a landlocked property somewhere in the north. Luckily we got a serious buyer for the property. The buyer offered half of the Market Value and a quarter of the (assumed) Zonal Value. My question is:

    1. What is the normal discount a seller can give to a buyer of a landlocked property?
    2. The Zonal value that we assumed were for the properties along the highway. In our case, the property is behind a lot that is fronting the highway. Does a property being landlocked affect its Zonal Value?

    Thank you and regards,
    Nikko

  11. Hi Jay,

    In relation to item 5 and 6, assuming the property was already abandoned by the previous owners, is this okay?

    The bank per the record do not have physical possession of the property because at the time they froeclosed it (2 yrs ago), the owner was still occupyingf the place, no physical turnover happened therefore they,the bank, applied for a writ of possession. But now, although, the writ of possession is still ongoing, it is confirmed (by me) that the previous owner already abandoned the property.

    Basically, the bank is selling this to buyers who will assume the risk of evicting the previous tenants/owners. But since it is already abandoned, is there still a risk on my part as a buyer if i purchase ths unit?

    Many Thanks!
    P.S. this is such an informative website. Keep up the good work! More powr

    Reply
    • Hi Jef, thanks for the compliment, much appreciated!

      With regard to your question, I would suggest you wait for the writ-of-possession before you(or the bank) take actual possession of the property, to avoid any technicalities.

      Thanks again Jef!

      • Thanks, Jay

        Sorry to bother you again, what possible technicalities that could arise? Really appreciate your feedback on this.

  13. Good day Jay,
    Thanks for sharing this very informative blog site. It is a really a big help for anyone interested in going into the real estate investing.
    I am currently out of the country and holds dual citizenship. I am paying a visit in October this year. My husband and I are planning to spend and enjoy our retirement here in a few years from now.
    How can I bid or place an offer on a property? I can give the bank a call but would they consider my offer considering that i am not a resident?
    I would greatly appreciate any additional information/guidelines you could share.
    Thanks very much.

  15. Hi Jay,

    Few weeks ago, I was searching everywhere for properties for sale particularly on farmlands. Then my digging brought me to this website. Since then I feel like I’m becoming obsessed with property hunting and analysis. I’ve read every single post and so far, I think, everything is “consumable” – nothing to throw that is. Kudos for the great job bro!

    Now, I started analyzing properties and actually sent some queries to banks (I’d say they are accommodating, so far) and received prompt and comprehensive replies. With the help of your “Analysis Steps/ Tips” it’s a breeze doing the math. Your posts are very useful and quite easy to understand even for a newbie like me. By the way, I am an Engineer based here in Saudi, and I feel like I’m gonna go into it (foreclosure biz)soon!

    My question is regarding your “suggestion to just make an offer at 40% below market value” and in relation to your “31 Questions you need to ask when inquiring about a foreclosed property” , which I readily used in one of my previous queries with the bank.

    I think a possible follow-up question to “27. How old is the property?” would be “when was the property foreclosed?” I think it’s worth including but I’m not sure whether this may add to the buyer’s leverage in the negotiation table.

    Just like in one property I inquired, I learned that it has been foreclosed since 1998 (but with caretaker, and the property is in the bank’s possession). I don’t know if 12 years of “inactivity” is just normal for foreclosed properties. Hence, Jay, can you judge the seller’s motivation in this instance? Shall I apply your “-40% Rule” in the negotiation? Or, that “40% less” will be applicable in any offer I will make, regardless of the situation and condition of the property? Do you think this “40%” is worth trying also in other property types, on farmland, maybe?

    Thanks for your help and may God Bless you.

    I find your blog very imformative and interesting……I have one question sir ? If ever I could acquire a house & lot thru Bank financing.. can I re sale this property…. Many thanks for whatever information you can give,.me . More power……God Bless..

    Reply
    • Hi Edwin,

      Yes, if you acquired a property thru bank financing, you can sell it. The exact procedure depends on the bank and the payment method of your buyer. Just to give you an idea, if your buyer will also pay through bank financing, the buyer’s bank will issue a loan guarantee and take out the loan from the bank where you have your bank financing. The buyer can also assume your balance so you might have to get your profits from the downpayment. Some banks will also allow the assignment of the Contract-To-Sell (CTS). It really depends on the bank so I would suggest you let the bank know upfront that you are an investor so that they will let you know your options.

      Thanks and God bless you too!

  21. Hi,

    I just want to ask..what does “no consolidated title and no possession” in a foreclosed property means.

    Kindly enlighten me.

    Thanks.

    Reply
    • Hi Renee, “No consolidation” means the property is still under the name of the previous owner as indicated on the TCT/CCT. It would take some time to have this transferred to the bank’s name, and then it can be transferred to the name of the buyer.

      “No possession” means that the property is still occupied and normally it will be up to the buyer to eject the occupant and take possession of the property. Ejection cases can take years to resolve hence I would recommend beginning investors to stay away from occupied properties.

      Thanks for visiting!

  23. I have filed a letter of intent to purchase a foreclosed property from a bank and have in fact deposited the purchase price. However I failed to ask them of these suggested questions. It is almost 6 months now but they have not yet given the GO signal. The bank informed me that the property is land locked. I don’t know whats keeping them, but I am seriously interested despite the information that it is land locked. Please comment/advise me.

    Reply
    • Hi Almabeth, maybe they are securing a right of way for your property as a corrective measure for the property being land-locked. I would highly suggest you drop by at their office for a meeting to discuss why it is taking so long. I’m also concerned that your money is asleep(natutulog at walang kinikita) and not earning any interest for the past 6 months. It would be okay if you had not paid yet but since you already paid, I don’t think it is fair for you. Just my two cents. JUst let me know if you need anymore information. Thanks for visiting!

  24. Hi Anonymous, since you are currently unemployed, why not try to get involved with a real estate firm or a broker and be an agent. You can get your “feet wet” with real estate and have an idea on the ins and outs of real estate in general. You also get to visit areas and familiarize yourself with market values, rental values, etc. which you would need to evaluate foreclosed properties. You also get to learn how to sell and if you do get to sell a property, you get to earn a commission which you can use to start investing in foreclosed real estate.

    Do always remember that you should keep evaluating properties until you realize that you begin to know a good deal when you see one. Once you enhance this skill, it would be very easy for you to buy your first deal when you have saved enough money, of if you happen to find someone who is willing to finance your deal.

    Good luck and thanks for dropping by!

  25. Hi Jay,

    Thanks for sharing this list; it really is very helpful. I’m thinking of getting into real estate investment, but I have absolutely no idea how to get started. On top of that, I am currently unemployed, so I’m afraid I would automatically fail the bank’s credit investigation. Is there a way for me to still penetrate this industry given my situation? I’m looking forward to your reply. Thanks!

    Reply
  26. Hi Anonymous, since you intend to purchase them at the same time, I see no reason for the bank not to allow this, as long as your net disposable income can support payments for the house and lot and the vacant lot.

    It would be okay to buy properties that are for-sale-by-owners (FSBO) as long as you do the same due diligence(checking authenticity of titles, ownership, checking for any liens, inspection of the property, etc). One advantage of getting foreclosed properties is that most are selling below market value. On the other hand, if the owners who are selling their property are highly motivated or if they urgently need to sell a property, you just might get their property below market value as well.

    Thank you also for visiting!

    i wanna start investing on this..
    i found a house and lot plus a vacant lot but the title’s name still with the parent of the owner. the house and the vacant lot will be divided. and they dont want it to sell it separately. they are on the process of transferring the Title to their names.

    im gonna loan this thru a bank
    is it possible to loan two different title in one setting?

    would you suggest buying directly from the owners or thru a bank’s foreclosed property?

    thank you!

  28. Hi japs, thank you, glad to be of help and I also wish and all visitors success!

    I noted a few banks do tend to sell their properties at market value, they probably think there are people out there who are willing to buy at those prices. However, this often just makes the property harder to sell and after some time, they will eventually have sell it at a lower price. I suggest you just make an offer at 40% below market value and if they reject it then move on to the next property/bank. If after a month or two the property remains unsold(which is very likely), you may submit another offer. I learned about this technique from one of my mentors and it can give you unexpected results where you just might end up very pleasantly surprised.

  29. Hi Mr. Jay, as usual your site has been of great help. I am sure that you will be successful as you are helping a lot of people.

    Regarding buying foreclosed properties from a bank, I saw this property from the Assets for Sale of Metrobank. I like the property, but the price is same with the market value of the property which is around 1.4million. I have been reading here about proporties at 40% lower than market value. It would a good deal if i can get it ,say, at 1million cash. I just wonder if offering that much lower (around 30% discount) is possible?

    • Jay can you send me the template as well? How does this work? After acquiring a foreclosed property, can I immediately make a rent-to-own deal with another buyer using this document or do I need to inform the bank where I took out the loan? As far as I understand, I deal with the bank and its up to me what to do with the property. What if my buyer defaults? How does the sale goes frm acquiring the property thru an auction/bank financing down to selling it to another buyer on a rent-to-own basis whereas the third party buyer effectively is paying for the amortization? What are the needed paperworks between me and the other buyer?

  34. @Anonymous, for public auctions, you just need to bring your show money or managers check to qualify for the bidding. Take note that in case you win your bid, you would have to pass the bank’s credit investigation. However, before you start investing, it would be better to equip yourself first with education on investing in real estate. I’ll be sharing how I got started in a new post, watch out for it.
