HUD Good Neighbor Next Door Program

[Sergio Dorval]

Good morning everyone.

My best friend is a police officer in New Mexico and would like to take advantage of the HUD Good Neighbor Next Door Program. He has a family and loves living there. How does he take advantage of it?

1. Does he have to buy only a single family home? Could he buy a multi-family home?

2. We searched for properties on the HUD.gov website, but none were available for NM. Are there other websites that we could use to find properties?

3. Are there other similar programs that a public servant or police officer could benefit from and become a homeowner? 

4. Did any of you use such programs? If you did, do you mind sharing your story? 

Thank you. 

Sergio Dorval.

This is a very select program and is only available on a handful of properties in the entire country at any given time. The properties can only be found within hudhomestore.com. 

Keep in mind the property will have to be within his jurisdiction as an officer as well. So actually finding a property available within his area is the ultimate long shot
