Uses and Use Restrictions
The Single Family Property Disposition Program is the marketing and sale of one to four unit properties acquired by HUD after foreclosure of an FHA-insured or Secretary-Held mortgage.
Within the general program there are special disposition programs through which a portion of the property inventory is sold.
These programs include Good Neighbor Next Door Sales program for law enforcement officers, teachers and firefighters/emergency medical technicians, Discount Sales to Nonprofits and Local Governments program and Dollar HOME Sales to Local Governments program.
Information for each of these programs is covered separately.
The majority of foreclosed one to four unit properties are sold through the general disposition program.
HUD contracts with private companies to manage and market the properties.
Properties are listed at HUD's website located at http://hudhomestore.com/Home/Index.aspx, where links are provided to the listings for each state.
The listings provide the list price of the property, the property address, a brief description of the property and access to a Property Condition Report prepared by the contractor.
Complete information explaining the sales process and earnest money requirements is also available.
Bids must be submitted electronically by a real estate broker.
An earnest money deposit is required with each bid submitted.
Special opportunities are available for bidders who intend to occupy purchased properties as their principal residence.
Properties not purchased during this Exclusive Listing Period are then available for the general public, including investors, during an Extended Listing Period.
FHA financing may be available for purchasing many homes, including the FHA 203(k) program providing a loan to purchase a property and pay for repairs or improvements as permitted by FHA rules.
Interested persons should contact their FHA approved lender.
Refer to http://www.hud.gov/ll/code/llplcrit.html for assistance in locating a lender.
