Huntsville homes for sale / HUD properties

It sounds like you have done your homework on loans! Yes this property should qualify for the programs you mentioned. Who are you using as a lender?

By blind offer, I mean that we don't negotiate and we don't have any idea of other offers. HUD sales are difficult and HUD makes lots of mistakes. I've heard of them accepting two offers on the same house and then go to closing. They just choose to ignore the other buyer. Paperwork gets returned for the most minuscule error or action that doesn't conform to their (sometimes unstated) procedures.

HUD home aren't always good buys, we have to do the research. We have to carefully check the property condition and review the HUD ordered inspection. We can't make our offer contingent on an inspection. As an example of problems with HUD properties the inspection should be included in the photo section of the listing but it's not there. I checked on the HUD website and searched on both the city and the case number ( 011-671005) but the house is not listed. Huntsville homes for sale / HUD properties

Even if there were a home inspection, i don't trust the lowest bidder inspector. From the HUD inspections I have seen the inspector just run through a checklist and does some paperwork.

The power and water are off so we cant do our own checks.

I'm not discounting the house but you need to know what we are up against.

The house is listed at $79 psf. I had look back to 2008 to find a sale. I am working while traveling and for some reason can't capture the link to show you the listings. I will try again when we get home.

If you want to see the house before Tuesday, please contact my trusted colleague Leanne Cole at 256-656-4151 / leannjcole@hotmail.com

So since it is a HUD owned home, they will only accept blind offers house unseen? In general, what percentage of the house price do people usually offer or how low of an offer would you say the bank would accept? Thanks. I am a first time home buyer. Is this house eligible for the fannie mae/freddie mac homesteps or homepaths foreclosure incentive that is available right now? Also, can you use a usda rural loan on a foreclosure?

This is a Housing and Urban Development (HUD) foreclosure. I haven't see the house yet it's only been on the market since 07/13/11. At $110,000 / $79 per square foot its not the lowest price house in the neighborhood.

this is a HUD property we would have to submit a blind bid and wait for an answer. There is a lot more paperwork and waiting involved with HUD properties. We might be able to find something better on the open market.
