If your real estate agent is registered to make bids on HUD foreclosure homes, he or she can use the electronic bidding system.

Similarly, you may ask, how does HUD decide which bid to accept? Bid Amount Acceptance Costs paid by HUD on accepted bids for one of its homes include real estate broker commissions and closing costs the bidder is asking HUD to pay. HUD pays 3 percent on real estate broker commissions and will contribute up to 3 percent toward buyer closing costs.Subsequently, question is, how do HUD homes work? The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) is part of HUD. A lender can file a claim for the balance due on the mortgage when a foreclosed home was purchased with a loan insured by the FHA. The FHA pays the lender’s claim, transfers ownership of the property to the HUD, and the HUD sells the home. Beside above, what happens after HUD accepts your bid? Once HUD accepts your bid for one of its homes, it typically takes 7 to 14 days to receive a fully executed contract from the agency. After winning bidders receive the sales contract, mortgage purchasers get 45 days to close, while cash buyers get 20 days.How much should you bid on a HUD home?Generally speaking, HUD is willing to contribute up to 5 percent of the purchase price to the buyer’s closing costs. If you are requesting that they make such a contribution, you must include this amount with your initial bid / offer on the home.
