Good morning and welcome! A HUD home is a foreclosed property that is owned by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. These homes were purchased with an FHA Insured loan. Upon foreclosure, HUD pays off the bank losses and put the home on the market.
HUD homes are typically listed for sale by management companies under contract with HUD and are sold through a sealed bid auction. Any real estate broker registered with HUD, may submit an offer and contract to purchase homes on their client's behalf.
Most FHA approved buyer can purchase a HUD home. However, keep in mind, these homes are first offered to home buyers who will use the home as their primary residence. After the priority period for owner occupants home buyers, unsold properties then becomes available to all buyers, including investors.
HUD homes are often priced below market value and special incentives are sometimes offered. One example is the Good Neighbor program that offers a 50% discount to teachers (pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade), firefighters, emergency medical technicians (EMS), and police officers. Buyers and their agent, can search for available HUD homes at hudhomestore
