HUD "reverse mortgage" listing buys?

[Lynn DeShazo]

HUD Guidelines 24 CRF 206.125 applies to the sale of Reverse Mortgage Foreclosures. The stipulations state that "Property cannot be sold below appraised value (LIST PRICE)." Can anyone familiar with this HUD product advise me as to whether it would be worth submitting a below list price offer anyway, or will HUD stick to their guns?

Thanks for any knowledgeable replies!
