As someone who purchases a lot of HUD properties, I always look at it like this. Your $1000 Earnest Money ($500 if under $50k) gives you 30-45 days to evaluate the property to make sure the numbers work. If they don't, you can walk away

Based on the information given, no one can tell you whether this property is a good deal or not. I have  purchased them at 40% of list price and the deal was marginal and I have also bid over asking and the property was a great deal
