How to find and buy a HUD bank repo in Coeur d'Alene Idaho

First of all What is a HUD home?

It is a home that is the result of a foreclosure action on a FHA-insured mortgage. In other words, it's a repo.  HUD paid the insurance claim and now is the property owner.  It is offered for sale to recover the loss on the foreclosure claim.

By definition, a HUD home can be a 1 to 4 unit residential property.  When first hitting the market, they are offered to owner-occupied buyers first.  After the initial offering, unsold properties are available to all buyers, including investors.

How Do I find a HUD home?

HUD repos are available to the public on the internet by management companies under contract to HUD. The bid to purchase must be made through a broker registered with HUD.  Any real estate commission earned is paid by HUD, and HUD will also pay 3% of the purchase price towards your closing costs.

On their site you can search by state, county, city or zip code.  Check the site frequently because you never know when a new home will pop up. 

What if I see a home online that I would like to look at, and possibly bid on?

Because my office is registered with HUD, I have a key available and will accompany you to view the home. The good ones go fast.  To increase your chance of success, you should be pre-approved with your lender for HUD home and be ready to get a bid in just as quickly as you can.  Be prepared and ready to pounce when you see a great home hit the market.  Often there will be multiple offer situations, speed is the name of the game!
