HUD Buying Made Simple part 2


Working with HUD offers are the same process as a normal purchase at first.  The difference in the process is the way that the offers are written and submitted.
HUD homes come on the market at different levels as I stated in the first part on this blog.  The homes are brought on with a 10 ten day viewing time to give the buyers time to review the homes and determine if it is the right property for them. It is then a silent bid process submitted online. 
The Earnest Money amount the any HUD home is $1000.00 (one thousand dollars).
Having a Realtor that has done HUD bids is defiantly an advantage.  Knowing what to write and how to write it is a must or the buyer faces rejection from the start. 

Enlisting the help of an experienced Realtor is a “need to” factor at least the first one.  Have your Realtor contact one of the HUD listing agents for their advice.
Now if your offer is accepted, you must have all of your paperwork ready to mail to the HUD BLB (the HUD contractors that do the work) within 24 hours. 
We will get into what happens when your offer is accepted in part 3.
