Important Updates and
Buyer Agents Info |
|
Per HUD's directive, the Field Service Managers (FSMs)
will be changing key codes which will be specific to
each state. In order to cut down on vandalism, these key
codes will be changing every 6 months. If you have
a set of HUD keys, they may not work - be sure to
contact the listing agent for combo code before showing. |
|
Buyer's Agents must accompany and provide access
each time an inspector, contractor, buyer, or non-FHA
appraiser accesses the property.
Buyer's Agents are responsible for ensuring the property
is secure after each inspection. Listing Agents
are not allowed to provide key codes or lockbox codes to
inspectors, contractors, buyers, or non-FHA appraisers.
Licensed FHA Appraisers are allowed to have the lockbox
codes to complete appraisals. |
|
All additional funds to close
required from the borrower must be verified and
documented for any over-bid amount of the appraised
value (initial list price), as well as the borrower
paid closing costs associated with the purchase.
These costs may not be financed.
Again, the total loan amount including UFMIP is
limited to no more than 100% of appraised value.
Buyer will have to pay the overage at closing on all
over list/appraisal bids (applicable to FHA financing). |

HUD Homes Search / Bid |
|
|
All HUD Homes are now
posted for sale on
HUDHomestore.com.
Prospective buyers must use a HUD registered
broker/agent to "bid" on a HUD Home. The bid
that results in the highest "NET" proceeds to
HUD will be the successful bidder. There are
specific bidding periods for various types of
buyers (see the property details page for the
bidding periods and deadlines).
Anyone can search for
HUD Homes and check bid timelines without
registering. However, registration is required
for buyers to save their searches, and for
selling brokers/agents to submit bids for their
clients. |

property I made an offer on?
