[L406]Listing Of Hud Homes
by David Fisher Fisher, Dav
What are HUD Homes? HUD homes are houses that were financed with FHA insured loans and have been foreclosed on by the lender. These homes were financed with FHA insured loans and when the owner defaulted on the loan the lender foreclosed and then turned to FHA to cover their loss on the property. FHA paid off the lender, and then turned the property over to their REO department for resale in order to recover their money.

What are the advantages of buying a HUD home? HUD generally allows an owner occupant to finance with an FHA loan which is more lenient if you have credit issues and they allow you to spend more of your income for your house payment and consumer debt than a conventional lender. And if you are a teacher or a police officer you can purchase to occupy at 50% of the sale price. It’s a great deal if you are a teacher or a police officer.

But if you are an investor it’s not such a great deal. HUD homes are offered for sale to people wishing to occupy the home first. Then if HUD is unable to sell the property is is opened for sale to investors.

Also, when the house was originally sold it was financed with a 3% down payment and the mortgage insurance was included in the loan. This means that the loan to value on the property is close to 100%. Also the property generally has been neglected or damaged while it has been vacant and the value has probably dropped.

Most foreclosures happen in the first 3 years of ownership, so there is usually very little equity in the property. And investors are looking for bargains and bargains mean equity. HUD is part of the U.S. Government and the government is not in business to make money. So generally decisions to sell are not based on what is best from a business point of view.

So, other than ease of financing, HUD homes are not as great a deal as most people think they are. Other than ease of financing, or if you are a teacher or a police officer there are few advantages over purchasing in the regular sales market. And from an investors point of view there are easier pickings elsewhere.


The increased demand drives up the price and new investors tend to get any and will buy based on emotion instead of logic because they ?just want to get their first deal?. If you pay too much for a property, you will lose your shirt on the deal. That's why it important to not overpay for the property because you make your money on a property on the day you buy, not the day you sell.
This is why it's important to have the right real estate investing training so you know how to spot the good deals from the bad and not overpay for a property. Your first deal can bankrupt if you don't structure it the right way. I see this all the time in my real estate investment club. The guys that don't take the time to invest in their education are soon out of business because they try and figure it out on their own and fail.

Short Sales are a great way to guarantee that you won't overpay for properties. If you are wondering ?what is a short sale ?or are wondering what the ?definition of a short sale is?here you go. A Short Sale is when the lender accepts less than what is owed on a mortgage on .

All of The deals are no money down.
We don't give the sellers any money when we get the deed to their house.
The only thing you have to pay when you get a deal is the cost of the notary and recording fee when you record your deed. That's a maximum of $100. Now my acquisitions manager is a notary so I don't pay any notary fees. If you don't put any money down on the house, you aren't putting any money at risk.
You don't need good credit to do short sale deals.
You don't need to go get a mortgage when you do short sales deals. If you don't need to use your credit, you aren't putting your credit at risk. You fund the deal the way you structure the transaction. You fund the deal by either:

The ability to own houses without having to make monthly mortgage payments.
There are no monthly payments to make for short sale deals. The houses are either
in foreclosure or about to be in foreclosure. You don't need to make any payments therefore you aren't putting any money at risking making monthly payments.

Preforeclosures and Short Sales are extremely easy to find right now.
There aren't enough investors out there to handle all of the deals in the market. That's why I'm on a mission to equip you with all of the resources you need so you can go out there and help all of these struggling homeowners and make a lot of money while doing it.

You may here some real estate speakers say to stay away from foreclosures because there is too much competition. Well that was then and this is now. They are teaching old information because they are not currently practicing what they preach. I am actively buying and selling foreclosures in my own backyard and I know what works and what doesn't work. And I have to tell you there is no competition for preforeclosure and short sales now because there are so many of them.

Short Sales are easy to get because it doesn't require you to do a lot of negotiating with the seller because they know they don't have any equity and they're just looking for a way out. You are their solution! I love working with short sale sellers because they are the most motivated sellers out there.

Short Sales are the most profitable quick turn deals to do in residential real estate because you're making all of your profit on the discount with the lender

One of the biggest benefits of the short sale business is that it works even better on Luxury Homes. The banks are more flexible and more negotiable on larger mortgages. Banks don't want to take houses back and they definitely don't want to take back Luxury homes.

It takes the same amount of work to do a deal on a luxury home than it does to do a starter home. The difference is A Luxury home pays 10 times as much profit. Its like doing 10 deals in one and when you combine the short sale strategy with luxury homes, you've got the golden ticket.

You See, Banks are in the money business. They're not in the . They don't want to own any properties. Their only interest is making interest on their money. Foreclosing on homes is a hassle they have to deal with because it's a cost of doing business for them. The sooner you understand this the sooner you will realize how huge this opportunity is for you right now.

When banks lend out money ? they have to keep a multiple of 5 times the amount of money they lend out in reserves. When a loan goes bad, it's now considered a non-performing asset and that limits the amount of money they can lend out.

It costs a bank a minimum of $30,000 to foreclose on a home. They would rather take a discount on the mortgage and get that bad debt off their books so they can lend out more money.

You are the solution for them. Banks need you to help them liquidate their houses so they can get rid of their bad debt. You are doing them a great service.
