HUD Properties, FHA & Title Seasoning for Real Estate Investors

August 1, 2009 by Marco Santarelli

With HUD properties, title seasoning, FHA loans, and short sales, real estate investors have had some confusion regarding the rules.  This article will clarify all of these issues for you.

HUD is the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, a government agency whose goal is to increase homeownership and support community development .  The Federal Housing Administration (FHA), which is part of HUD, provides mortgage insurance on loans made by FHA-approved lenders throughout the United States.

HUD and FHA come into play in three different scenarios in the investor/foreclosure arena.

HUD Foreclosed Properties

When a person gets an FHA loan, it is funded through a private lender and the loan is insured or backed by the Federal Housing Administration.  When the loan is in default, FHA pays out the lender and take an assignment of the loan.  When the property is foreclosed, it is owned by HUD.  HUD then offers these properties for sale to both owner-occupants and investors.  The properties are offered on the local MLS computer database, but you have to submit an offer through a HUD-approved real estate broker.  The offer is made under a bid process, under which the HUD will either accept or reject your offer depending on what other offers are submitted.  An investor can buy, hold, or flip these properties if their offer is accepted.

What You Should Know About HUD Properties

November 18, 2008 by Marco Santarelli

imageHUD properties are available all over the United States, and make great investments for anybody that is interested. These homes often get a bad rap for being in bad condition, but in all actuality they are not any worse than other foreclosed homes that are available. Just like anything else, there are some HUD properties that are in good condition, and some that are in need of repairs. It is simply a matter of how well the past owner cared for the home.

HUD properties are homes that had loans which were insured by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). But when the owner fails to live up to the financial obligations that are expected, the bank then takes over the home and it becomes an HUD property. At this point, the Department of Housing and Urban Development is in charge of repaying the lender any money that they lost on the deal. So as you can see, the Department of Housing and Urban Development sticks their neck on the line when they insure the loans on these homes; if the owner doesn’t pay, they are stuck with owing money to the lender.
