Post: Advice or Opportunity: $40K for Vacant 2/2 Condo in Tamarac, FL – HUD Lien Attached

- Posts 5

We're looking to sell a 2 bed / 2 bath condo in Tamarac, FL for $40,000 (negotiable). It's a distressed property with a HUD lien attached.
Property Details:
- City/State: Tamarac, FL
- Size: ~1,187 sq ft
- Located in the Kings Point (55+) gated community
- Monthly HOA: $550
- Vacant – no tenants
- Estimated repairs: ~$20K
- ARV: ~$169K (based on recent comps)
- Taxes up to date through 2024
Important Notes:
- Property has a HUD lien for around $239K, from a loan tied to the original (now deceased) owner
- We purchased this through a Broward County foreclosure auction for $40K
We hold the title, but HUD has not responded to negotiation attempts for lien release - Unpaid HOA fees are pending (not yet negotiated)
Ideal Buyer:
This is a problem property, best suited for a creative or legal-minded investor who:
- Has experience dealing with HUD liens
- Can leverage lien negotiation or other strategies
- Is looking for a deep discount with upside
Our Ask:
- Price: $40,000 (negotiable)
- We’re looking to sell outright.
Pictures and additional info available upon request. DM me if interested or if you've dealt with a similar HUD lien case — I'd love to connect.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Everyone!
With a FHA loan for a four-unit (3.5 % down) bought in partnership with somebody, considering that we live in different states (FL-CO). Can only my partner live in one of the units to fulfill the FHA occupancy rule? Or will we both be required to occupy the units?
Thank you!
