What is a HUD Home?
A HUD
home is a 1 to 4 unit residential property acquired by HUD as a
result of a foreclosure action on an FHA-insured mortgage. HUD becomes
the property owner and offers it for sale to recover the loss on
the foreclosure claim.
Who can buy a HUD Home?
Almost anyone! If you have the cash or can qualify for a loan (subject
to certain restrictions) you may buy a HUD Home. HUD Homes are initially
offered to owner-occupant purchasers (people who are buying the
home as their primary residence). Following the priority period
for owner occupants, unsold properties are available to all buyers,
including investors.
How are HUD Homes sold?
All properties available for purchase by the public are offered
for sale at Internet listing sites maintained by management companies
under contract to HUD. Any real estate broker registered with HUD may
submit an offer and contract to purchase on your behalf. HUD pays the real
estate broker's commission,
if included in the contract.
Are there any special programs?
Properties in designated areas are available at a reduced sales
price to law enforcement officers, teachers, firefighters, emergency
medical technicians, nonprofits and local governments..
Should I get a home inspection?
We encourage you to get an inspection after your offer is accepted.
All HUD Homes are sold AS-IS, without warranty. HUD will not make
repairs nor pay to correct any problems.
What about financing?
Although HUD does not offer financing directly, some of our homes
qualify for FHA-insured loans. Shop around for a lender to find
the best loan terms. Find out how an FHA
loan can help you.
Use the services of a Buyer's Agent to guide you through the whole process and answer the questions you may have.
