Searching for HUD residences in your area may be as confusing as the process of purchasing a house. If you are looking for a HUD home and using the internet, there are dozens of HUDs or foreclosure payment sites. "Paid site" means that you are required to have a monthly subscription after the one week trial period has elapsed. Most people feel that the cost is too high and give up at this point.
Indeed, you can think of the first step to find the list "frustration". In addition to having to pay to get the information you need, that information may not be "real time". One of the best sites is RealtyTrac, but it also has its limitations. You can search for states, counties, and / or cities for free, but you need to pony up if you need details about the house. As RealtyTrac is not in real time, updating information can take hours to several days. It takes time to go to the site just for the house that just started marketing or just sold. This is not what you want, when trying to get home at a very cheap price and bidding is intense.
Another option for finding the location of HUD houses is to use MLS (Multiple Listing Service) used by realtors. Yes, you can find the HUD house with these lists, but you can not trust it again. Even if a few appear there, you can bet that not all of them are. Local realtors do not enter them into MLS. They are entered by HUD Real Estate Management Company. It is good to do your own search on your selected HUD website, but where are these sites?
Finding the link HUD website is not easy. If you purchase HUD Homebuying Secrets, the bonus material will be National HUD Home Directory. It provides a link to the HUD website for all 50 US and territories, including Guam, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands. Furthermore, because the listings in each state are posted in real time, the information is accurate, up-to-date and free, so you may forget your credit card and forget your monthly fee.
So please do not disturb frustration when looking for great houses. With less money and more "elbow grease", you can find the house you want.
