HUD Homes

[Account Closed]

Has anyone purchased a HUD home? I've heard some great things about how you can get those homes significantly below market value. But I do have two questions:

1. How do I find the agent that will help with the purchase of a HUD home when the property is not in your own backyard?

2. What are some of the disadvantages of a HUD home?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
