Can You Really Buy A HUD Home for $1 Dollar? Answer Yes & No!
November 5, 2011 10:06 pm By Leave a Comment
“YES” $1 Homes are available to you if you are a local government agency, or local nonprofit homeownership Organization.
“NO” If you are private buyer or private for profit investor.
HUD’s Dollar Homes initiative helps local governments to foster housing opportunities for low to moderate income families and address specific community needs by offering them the opportunity to purchase qualified HUD-owned homes for $1 each.
Dollar Homes are single-family homes that are acquired by the Federal Housing Administration (which is part of HUD) as a result of foreclosure actions. Single-family properties are made available through the program whenever FHA is unable to sell the homes for six months.
By selling vacant homes for $1 after six months on the market, HUD makes it possible for communities to fix up the homes and put them to good use at a considerable savings. The newly occupied homes can then act as catalysts for neighborhood revitalization, attracting new residents and businesses to an area.
Local governments can partner with local nonprofit homeownership organizations or tap into existing local programs to resell the homes to low- and moderate-income residents of the community.
Take a look some of the currently available HUD homes to the Left. You can generally find some really good deals with HUD however, they sell strictly as is and generally need some repairs!
