U.S. Government Owned Homes
There are two types of U.S. Government owned homes: HUD and VA. HUD and VA homes can be a great investment for potential home owners and real estate investors. Often times, the properties can be purchased at a significantly reduced market value.

What is a “HUD Home”?
HUD homes can be a very good deal. When someone with a HUD insured mortgage can't meet the payments, the lender forecloses on the home; HUD pays the lender what is owed; and HUD takes ownership of the home. Then HUD sell it at market value as quickly as possible.
Who can buy a HUD home?
Anyone! These homes are not exclusively for low-income buyers, but most are affordable for low to moderate-income purchasers. If you have cash or can qualify for a mortgage, you can buy a HUD home.
Where can I find lists of HUD homes available for sale?
You can get automatically send list of all HUD homes on your email in seconds. Just go to our 24-hour automated email hotline and click on HUD homes email.
How can I buy a HUD-owned property?
The best way is to contact a local real estate broker or agent in the area where you wish to buy HUD home. They can show any HUD property to prospective purchasers and prepare purchase offers. Normally, HUD Homes are sold in an “Offer Period”. At the end of the Offer Period, all offers are opened and, basically, the highest bid is accepted. If the home isn't sold in the initial Offer Period, you can submit a bid any business day.
If my bid is accepted, then what happens?
Your real estate agent will help you through the paperwork process. You'll be given a settlement date, normally within 30-60 days, where the transaction will occur. You must close the sale, usually within 45 to 60 days. Until the sale is closed, you may not do any work or use the home in any way, since you do not own it.
Some of these homes may not be in good condition. Does HUD make repairs to these homes prior to sale?
HUD Homes are sold "as-is," without warranty. That means generally HUD will not make repairs except in specific cases to eliminate a major safety or health issue. However, any known defects in the condition of the house are reflected in the purchase price. We encourage you to get the home professionally inspected after your bid has been acknowledged on the web site.
Does HUD pay any costs toward my purchase?
Yes. In Nevada HUD will pay up to 2.5% in closing costs.
Are HUD Homes meant for people with low incomes?
HUD homes range in price, but most are affordable for low- and moderate-income buyers.
Can I buy a HUD Home as an investment?
Most HUD Homes are initially offered on a priority basis to owner occupant purchasers (people who are buying the home as their primary residence). Following the priority period, unsold properties are then available to all buyers, including investors.
How can I get a loan to buy a HUD Home?
HUD doesn't make loans directly. But there are a number of mortgage insurance programs that could help you buy a home. Please check First Source Financial USA to help you with HUD home financing. You can do your pre-qualification online now.
