Purchasers MUST have a pre-qualification letter from a lender or proof of cash funds in the amount of or greater than the HUD home purchase price. HUD divides buyers into two groups, owner-occupants and investors. Owner-occupants have the initial advantage over investors. Priority is given to purchasers who are owner-occupants for the first ten calendar days after a new listing is posted. Also, owner-occupants must live in the house as their primary residence for at least one year and may not purchase another HUD home for two years. HUD does not provide financing for the purchase of HUD Homes. It is up to the buyer to locate the financing through a bank or mortgage company. Before you bid on a property, be sure you do have secured financing. If you place a winning bid and you cannot obtain financing within the specified time, you may lose the earnest money deposit that you submitted with your offer.
So, if you have the money or can qualify for a loan, you can buy a Indiana Home for sale.
