What is a “HUD home”?
HUD homes can be a very
good deal. When someone with a HUD-insured mortgage can't meet the payments,
the lender forecloses on the home; HUD pays the lender what is owed; and
HUD takes ownership of the home. Then HUD sells it at market value as quickly
as possible.
Who can buy a HUD home?
Anyone! These homes
are not exclusively for low-income buyers, but most are affordable for
low- to moderate-income purchasers. If you have cash or can qualify for
a mortgage, you can buy a HUD home.

How can I buy a HUD-owned
property?
The best way is to contact
a local real estate broker or agent in the area where you wish to
buy a HUD home. John Vanhara is authorized to sell HUD
homes in Southern Nevada. John can show any HUD property to prospective
purchasers and prepare purchase offers. Normally, HUD homes are sold in
an “offer period.” At the end of the offer period, all offers are opened
and, basically, the highest bid is accepted. If the home isn't sold in
the initial offer period, you can submit a bid any business day.
If my bid is accepted,
then what happens?
Your real estate agent will
help you through the paperwork process. You'll be given a settlement date,
normally within 30-60 days, where the transaction will occur. You
must close the sale, usually within 45 to 60 days. Until the sale is closed,
you may not do any work or use the home in any way, because you do not own
it
Some of these homes may
not be in good condition. Does HUD make repairs to these homes prior to
sale?
HUD homes are sold "as-is,"
without warranty. That means generally HUD will not make repairs except
in specific cases to eliminate a major safety or health issue. However,
any known defects in the condition of the house are reflected in the purchase
price. We encourage you to get the home professionally inspected after
your bid has been acknowledged on the website.
Does HUD pay any costs
toward my purchase?
Yes. In Nevada, HUD
will pay up to 2.5% in closing costs.
Are HUD homes meant for
people with low incomes?
HUD homes range in price,
but most are affordable for low- and moderate-income buyers.
Can I buy a HUD home
as an investment?
Most HUD homes are initially
offered on a priority basis to owner-occupant purchasers (people who are
buying the home as their primary residence). Following the priority period, unsold properties are available to all buyers, including investors.
How can I get a loan
to buy a HUD home?
HUD doesn't make loans directly, but there are a number of mortgage insurance programs that could help you
buy a home. You can do your pre-qualification online
now.
