Nonprofit Strategies for 1- to 4-Unit REO Properties: An Analytical Framework

Thursday, 26 March 2009

A recent study from NeighborWorks America presents a framework through which nonprofits can analyze REO redevelopment opportunities for 1- to 4-unit properties within their communities. The paper specifies the conditions necessary for REO redevelopment and discusses how local market conditions, the geographic distribution and the physical characteristics of REOs, their ownership and legal status, internal organizational capacity, and public policies each affect nonprofit efforts to acquire, rehabilitate, sell and rent REO properties.
