First property - HUD Property

Gary Waldron

Posted
I have been going through the forums lately and first thought of trying to get my first house (as an owner occupant) through homepath.com, but then I ran into HUD units through looking through that website. I have seen some forums related to the HUD market on how there don't seem to be any notable discounts with many listings going for retail. At this point I want to jump in and get my first property (I have never bought a house before) and start putting in some sweat equity. Is this road a good road to go about getting my first property? Are there too many hard lessons I would run into possibly? If there is a discussion thread related to this topic already for someone just starting out purchasing their very first home as an owner occupant please let me know.
