WHO CAN BUY A PROPERTY ON HUDHOMESTORE.COM AND SPECIAL PROGRAMS:

HUD has identified five buyer types that are eligible to purchase HUD-owned homes. Certain conditions must be met to determine the eligibility of a buyer to bid on a particular home. Only HUD-registered bidders can make offers on properties. Homebuyers must use a HUD-registered Selling Broker or Selling Agent to make an offer on their behalf.

• Owner-Occupant: Eligible owner-occupants are individuals who have not purchased a HUD property as an owner-occupant within the past two (2) years. They can bid on homes in the Exclusive or Extended periods.
• Investor: Eligible investors can bid on homes only in the Extended period.
• Good Neighbor Next Door : Law enforcement officers, pre-kindergarten through 12th grade teachers, firefighters, and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) can contribute to community revitalization while becoming homeowners through HUD's Good Neighbor Next Door Sales Program. HUD offers a substantial incentive in the form of a 50% discount from the list price of the home during the Lottery phase. In return, the purchaser must commit to live in the property for 36 months as their sole residence. Click here for more information about this program and its requirements.
• $1 Homes (Government purchase only) : HUD's Dollar Homes initiative helps local governments to address specific community needs by allowing those government agencies to purchase homes for one dollar. These are homes that have been on the market for over 180 days and that have an as-is appraisal value of $1 to $25,000. The government agency can then fix up the home and offer low- to moderate-income families the opportunity to purchase qualified HUD-owned homes for a substantially reduced price.

• Nonprofit : The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) offers community and faith-based nonprofit organizations the opportunity to purchase HUD homes at discounts up to 30%. With this discount, local nonprofit organizations invest in their communities through property rehabilitation and resell to first-time homebuyers and low- to moderate-income families.

• Government Agency: Government Agencies need a valid HUD NAID, and they must be registered on HUD Homestore. They use that NAID to place the bid themselves (without using a Selling Broker). Government Agencies can bid on homes in Lottery, Exclusive, and Extended phases provided they are in approved purchase areas. If the property is in the Lottery phase, the home must be uninsured. Government Agencies are the only bidders who can bid for Dollar homes. There is no "Selling Broker" commission for bids placed using a Government Agency NAID, since the Government Agency is placing the bid themselves. Click here for more information about Dollar homes.
