The vast majority of Tippecanoe HUD home sales in the Greater Lafayette area happen in the first 60 Days of market time.  Owner occupants get first opportunity to purchase a HUD home and if you want the home you need to bid aggressively.  I lost two homes with bids over 110% last year so if the home is priced too low for the market be prepared to bid accordingly!
