FHA loans in Denver available on HUD homes for only $100 down!
So, what's a HUD home, you ask?
A HUD home is a one to four unit property that has gone into foreclosure whereby the original loan was insured by a division of HUD called the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). FHA loans insure lenders for a portion of the loss should the homes go into foreclosure. Once foreclosure proceedings have been completed, HUD takes title of the homes and resales them in hopes of recouping a part of the FHA loan insurance expense.
So the benefit to a Denver HUD home buyer is the ability to get an FHA loan for only $100 down!!

FHA loans are also available to purchase homes NOT owned by HUD, but have a few different qualifying requirements. For instance, there is not a standard escrow of $5,000 allowed, and the down payment requirement is 3.5%. However it is possible to combine FHA loans with a Colorado Housing and Finance Authority loan thereby financing most of your down payment as well!
