There are also a few other caveats:
- You must work with a HUD-registered broker or agent.
- You must qualify for an FHA loan.
- You must also intend on being an "owner-occupant".
Now for sure you will have to pay closing costs, and of course you must be qualified for a mortgage and lastly the homes will be in "as-is" condition.
However, on some homes, HUD will cover up to 3% of the closing costs. And you can even use the $100 dollar down payment program in conjunction with an FHA 203K Loan. This allows you to use a portion of the loan for repairs and/or renovations.
This opportunity isn't for everyone. The "as-is" condition of some HUD homes can be daunting. But if you are the type that wants to get a great deal and earn sweat equity, this could be a perfect opportunity for you!
Call or email me if you would like to talk about this or any other real estate questions or concerns.
Happy house hunting!
