Thinking about buying a HUD home?
HUD-owned homes can be a great opportunity for owner occupants, especially for first-time buyers. All homes have a property condition report available for review prior to submitting a bid. In addition, an FHA appraisal as been completed prior to listing the property, and the appraised value is stated on the information page for each property. Only HUD-registered brokers can submit bids for one of these homes.
For FHA loans, HUD is offering to perform a Lead Based Paint inspection on properties built prior to 1978, and make up to $4000 in repairs if necessary. In addition, they will perform a Wood Destroying Organisms inspection, and clear section 1 items, up to $4000. These two inspections are only available at HUD's cost for FHA loans. All other loans types can still make any inspections they choose, but any required repairs will be at buyer expense.
