HUD homes

[Account Closed]

Hi everyone, what's the general story on HUD homes? I came across a vacant property that turns out to be HUD owned (since last April). What is here general plan for those homes? I'm not clear on why they would continue to let it sit vacant and boarded up. Is there anyway I can get in on purchasing? I don't see any listings for it online or on the HUD sites. Again, any feedback appreciated!

Could be any multitude of reasons why it is not on the market. Google the address and that should give you an idea as to if it has already been on the market. Active HUD listing will appear on HUDhomestore.com. Here is a recent thread on some HUD strategies
