FHA Foreclosure Homes
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is a large organization with many components. The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) is one of its most critical agencies, with a far-reaching influence on the housing market. The FHA insures one type of loan that lenders make to consumers, and this insurance allows the lender to request reimbursement from HUD if the lender ever loses money on an FHA-insured loan. When the borrower defaults on the loan payments for one of these houses, the lender takes possession and the property is sold on an online HUD foreclosure auction. A registered real estate professional or approved third party from a government agency or non-profit must place all bids.
Interested real estate brokers can apply at HUD's Homestore website, and only sales associates with approved brokers can participate in the auction. The associates must subsequently also register on the site using the broker's registration number and their own license number. The maximum sales commission is 3 percent of the sales price.
The public can search for available properties on the Homestore website. In addition to displaying the list price and some property details, the results indicate if the property is currently in an exclusive or extended listing period. During the exclusive timeframe, only offers from prospective owner occupants can be submitted. The contact information of the listing agent appears within the property detail link, and the buyer is free to contact this person to make an appointment to see the property and place a bid if desired. The public can also conduct a search for the names and contact information of registered brokers in their area who can submit bids on their behalf. HUD participates in the Good Neighbor Next Door program that offers select homes at a 50 ทาวน์เฮ้าส์มือสอง percent discount to qualified teachers, firefighters and emergency medical technicians. You can add this program to your search criteria if you want to retrieve a list of the eligible properties. You can also save a search and request an email to be sent when a matching property is listed on the site.
HUD doesn't repair properties, and the buyer is encouraged to have a home inspection prior to making an offer. HUD will consider both financed and cash-only offers. When a bid is accepted, HUD sends an email to the winning broker who then has two business days to send the signed contract and earnest money deposit to the property's listed asset manager. The closing continues as normal with the listing and selling brokers facilitating the process.
