At the middle school level (grades 6-8), Chinese students attend just under 1,000 hours of school per year, a figure similar to that of most U.S. states. Just as with India, the data shows that Chinese students are not required to receive 25 to 30 percent more in-school instruction per year than U.S. students.
REO is an acronym for R eal E state O wned and is industry jargon for foreclosure property repossessed by banks or lenders. If a lender or bank is the highest bidder at a foreclosure auction â or if no third party bids at the auction â the property reverts back to the lender and becomes an REO. REOs are owned by banks. Lenders go to great lengths to sell REOs.
Real Estate Owned Property. At most auctions, the lender can set the opening bid. If no bid comes in higher, the lender repossesses the property. Such properties are called real estate owned, or REO. If a buyer missed the opportunity to purchase a foreclosed house before the auction, an REO is a second chance to strike a deal. Since the property didnât attract auction bids, a bank might be more flexible in accepting an offer for an REO property.
