Hire an agent who has an NAID number.

    Hello, you can check out Hudhomestore.co m to find current properties that are available to bid on. Once you find one their will be an addendum tab with the forms and due dates that need to be submitted to the assigned asset manager. It could help to find a realtor who works with foreclosures or even specifically with HUD as they will be more familiar with the forms used as well as the process. Hope this helps.

    When you say several that means you are an investor. Most HUD homes have an exclusive period where owner/ occupants are given preference. If it makes it past that period, then investors can bid.

    So there are a few issues these days.  #1 not that many foreclosures.  #2 the ones there are often get bid and bought by owner occupants.

    Check out HUDhomestore.com for your area and see if there are homes that are available to investors and that are of interest to you.  Get preappoved for a loan if you are using financing, or if you have cash, get your proof of funds together....like a bank statement that shows you have cash for the purchase.

    Then find an agent or we can help you find one that is certified by HUD and can bid on properties for you.....

    @Robinson Parra not every real estate agent is qualified or approved to handle HUD foreclosures!! An agent that doesn't know what they are doing is worse then doing it yourself!

    I’m a 29 year veteran and I’ve seen it all!

    @Robinson Parra You will want to find an agent in your area who has experience with HUD transactions because if you ever get to the point where you want to submit an offer an agent with a NAID number will need submit the offer for you through the HUDhomestore.com portal.
