Buying a Home
The Home Buying process can seem
complicated, but if you take things
step-by-step with a professional Realtor like
us, you will soon be holding the keys to your
own home!
Buying and selling real estate is really a
complex matter. At first it might seem that
by checking local picture books or online
sites you could quickly find the right home at
the right price.
But a basic rule in real estate is that all
properties are unique. No two properties --
even two identical models on the same
street -- are precisely and exactly alike.
Homes differ and so do contract terms,
financing options, inspection requirements
and closing costs etc. Also, no two
transactions are alike.
THE GREATEST TIME TO BUY A PROPERTY
IS: WHEN YOU'VE COMPETITIVE

About Buying HUD Homes
What is a HUD Home?
A HUD home is a 1 to 4 unit residential property acquired by HUD as a result of a
foreclosure action on an FHA-insured mortgage. HUD becomes the property owner and
offers it for sale to recover the loss on the foreclosure claim.
Who can buy a HUD Home?
Almost anyone! If you have the cash or can qualify for a loan (subject to certain
restrictions) you may buy a HUD Home. HUD Homes are initially offered to owner-occupant
purchasers (people who are buying the home as their primary residence). Following the
priority period for owner occupants, unsold properties are available to all buyers, including
investors
How are HUD Homes sold?
All properties available for purchase by the public are offered for sale at Internet listing
sites maintained by management companies under contract to HUD. Any real estate broker
registered with HUD may submit an offer and contract to purchase on your behalf. HUD pays
the real estate broker's commission, if included in the contract.
When a HUD Home becomes available for sale, usually it is listed on the Multiple Listing
Service and on HUD's home page on the Internet. Any real estate broker who is properly
registered with HUD may submit contracts for purchase. Brokers are used because of their
expertise in the local residential real estate market and because HUD does not have
sufficient staff either to show properties to prospective buyers or to assist in those other
aspects of homebuying normally handled by brokers.
Most HUD Homes are initially offered on a priority basis to owner occupant
purchasers
Are there any special programs?
Properties in designated areas are available at a reduced sales price to law enforcement
officers, teachers, firefighters, emergency medical technicians, nonprofits and local
governments.
Should I get a home inspection?
We encourage you to get an inspection after your offer is accepted. All HUD Homes are sold
AS-IS, without warranty. HUD will not make repairs nor pay to correct any problems.
What about financing?
Although HUD does not offer financing directly, some of our homes qualify for FHA-insured
loans. Shop around for a lender to find the best loan terms. Find out how an FHA loan can
help you.

How to Contact Your Mortgage Servicer

Modification program and have already engaged
borrowers and expanded capacity to begin the
modification process for eligible homeowners.
In addition, all servicers for loans owned by Fannie Mae
and Freddie Mac are required to participate.The
following is a list of servicers who have formalized their
commitment to the program through a signed contract:

Don't Be A Victim Of Loan Fraud
Protect Yourself from Predatory Lenders
Buying or refinancing your home may be one of the most
important and complex financial decisions you'll ever
make. Many lenders, appraisers, and real estate
professionals stand ready to help you get a nice home
and a great loan. However, you need to understand the
home buying process to be a smart consumer. Every
year, misinformed homebuyers, often first-time
purchasers or seniors, become victims of predatory
lending or loan fraud.
Don't let this happen to you!
12 Important Tips On Being A Smart
Consumer...
Before you buy a home, attend a homeownership
education course offered by the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD)-approved,
non-profit counseling agencies.
1-Interview several real estate professionals (agents),
and ask for and check references before you select one
to help you buy or sell a home.
2-Get information about the prices of other homes in the
neighborhood. Don't be fooled into paying too much.
Hire a properly qualified and licensed home inspector to
carefully inspect the property before you are obligated to
buy.
3-Determine whether you or the seller is going to be
responsible for paying for the repairs. If you have to pay
for the repairs, determine whether or not you can afford to
make them.
4-Shop for a lender and compare costs. Be suspicious if
anyone tries to steer you to just one lender.
5-Do NOT let anyone persuade you to make a false
statement on your loan application, such as overstating
your income, the source of your downpayment, failing to
disclose the nature and amount of your debts, or even
how long you have been employed.
6-When you apply for a mortgage loan, every piece of
information that you submit must be accurate and
complete.
7-Lying on a mortgage application is fraud and may result
in criminal penalties.
8-Do NOT let anyone convince you to borrow more money
than you know you can afford to repay. If you get behind
on your payments, you risk losing your house and all of
the money you put into your property.
9-Never sign a blank document or a document containing
blanks. If information is inserted by someone else after
you have signed, you may still be bound to the terms of
the contract. Insert "N/A" (i.e., not applicable) or cross
through any blanks.
10-Read everything carefully and ask questions. Do not
sign anything that you don't understand.
Before signing, have your contract and loan agreement
reviewed by an attorney skilled in real estate law,
consult with a trusted real estate professional or ask for
help from a housing counselor with a HUD-approved
agency.
If you cannot afford an attorney, take your documents to
the HUD-approved housing counseling agency near you
to find out if they will review the documents or can refer
you to an attorney who will help you for free or at low
cost.
11-Be suspicious when the cost of a home improvement
goes up if you don't accept the contractor's financing.
12-Be honest about your intention to occupy the house.
Stating that you plan to live there when, in fact, you are
not (because you intend to rent the house to someone
else or fix it up and resell it) violates federal law and is a
crime.
What is Predatory Lending?
In communities across America, people are losing their
homes and their investments because of predatory
lenders, appraisers, mortgage brokers and home
improvement contractors who:
Sell properties for much more than they are worth using
false appraisals.
Encourage borrowers to lie about their income,
expenses, or cash available for downpayments in order
to get a loan.
Knowingly lend more money than a borrower can afford
to repay.
Charge high interest rates to borrowers based on their
race or national origin and not on their credit history.
Charge fees for unnecessary or nonexistent products and
services.
Pressure borrowers to accept higher-risk loans such as
balloon loans, interest only payments, and steep
pre-payment penalties.
Target vulnerable borrowers to cash-out refinances
offers when they know borrowers are in need of cash
due to medical, unemployment or debt problems.
"Strip" homeowners' equity from their homes by
convincing them to refinance again and again when there
is no benefit to the borrower.
Use high pressure sales tactics to sell home
improvements and then finance them at high interest
rates.
What Tactics Do Predators Use?
A lender or investor tells you that they are your only
chance of getting a loan or owning a home. You should
be able to take your time to shop around and compare
prices and houses.
The house you are buying costs a lot more than other
homes in the neighborhood, but isn't any bigger or better.
You are asked to sign a sales contract or loan
documents that are blank or that contain information
which is not true.
You are told that the Federal Housing Administration
insurance protects you against property defects or loan
fraud - it does not.
The cost or loan terms at closing are not what you agreed
to.
You are told that refinancing can solve your credit or
money problems.
You are told that you can only get a good deal on a home
improvement if you finance it with a particular lender.



WHAT GUIDELINES ARE REQUIRED FOR A MORTGAGE LOAN?
Mortgages are used by individuals and businesses wishing to make large value
purchase of real estate without payment the entire value of the purchase up front.
Mortgages are also known as lien against property, or claims on property. Mortgage is a
legal agreement that creates an interest in a real estate property between borrower and
the lender.
HOW TO UNDERSTAND THE HOME LOAN PROCESS?
Understand that in order to finance or refinance a loan the lender requires
documentation to verify and substantiate your employment, credit and financial situation
to assure its investors
that you have the ability to repay the MONEY

Subprime Mortgage
 A type of mortgage that is normally made out to borrowers with lower credit
ratings. As a result of the borrower's lowered credit rating, a conventional mortgage is
not offered because the lender views the borrower as having a larger-than-average risk
of defaulting on the loan.

Refinancing Your Home
Sometimes, refinancing your mortgage can
really save you money.
You may be able to pay less interest, lower
your monthly payment, or convert from a 30-
year loan to a 15-year loan (and build your
equity faster!).
What does FHA have for you?
To provide mortgage insurance for a person
to purchase or refinance a principal
residence. The mortgage loan is funded by
a lending institution, such as a mortgage
company, bank, savings and loan
association and the mortgage is insured by
HUD.
---------------------------------------------------------------
---
What are the eligibility requirements?
The borrower must meet standard FHA
credit qualifications. The borrower is
eligible for approximately 97% financing.
The borrower is able to finance the upfront
mortgage insurance premium into the
mortgage.
The borrower will also be responsible for
paying an annual premium.
Eligible properties are one-to-four unit
structures.

Financial help for seniors
Are you 62 or older? Do you live in
your home?
Do you own it outright or have a low
loan balance? If you can answer "yes"
to all of these questions, then the FHA
Reverse Mortgage might be right for
you. It lets you convert a portion of
your equity into cash.
Reverse mortgages are becoming
popular in America. HUD's Federal
Housing Administration (FHA) created
one of the first.
The Home Equity Conversion
Mortgage (HECM) is FHA's reverse
mortgage program which enables
you to withdraw some of the equity in
your home.
The HECM is a safe plan that can give
older Americans greater financial
security. Many seniors use it to
supplement social security, meet
unexpected medical expenses, make
home improvements and more.
You can receive free information
about reverse mortgages in general
by calling AARP toll free at (800)

Since your home is probably your
largest single investment, it's smart to
know more about reverse mortgages,
and decide if one is right for you

Guide to Avoiding Foreclosure
Whether you're in foreclosure now or worried
about it in the future, we have information that can help.
Contact Your Lender
to Avoid Foreclosure
Information by State
Print version
Many people avoid calling their lender when they have money troubles.
Most of us are embarrassed to discuss our money problems with others or
believe that if lenders know we are in trouble, they will rush to collection
or foreclosure.
Foreclosure is expensive for lenders, mortgage insurers and investors.
HUD/FHA, as well as private mortgage insurance companies and
investors like Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, require lenders to work
aggressively with borrowers who are facing money problems.
Lenders have workout options to help you keep your home. However,
these options work best when your loan is only one or two payments
behind. The farther behind you are on your payments, the fewer options
are available.
Do not assume that your mortage problem will quickly correct itself.
Don't lose valuable time by being overly optimistic. Contact your
mortgage lender to discuss your circumstances as soon as you realize
that you are unable to make your payments. While there is no guarantee
that any particular relief will be given, most lenders are willing to
explore every possible option
HOPE for Homeowners
The HOPE for Homeowners program will refinance mortgages for borrowers
who are having difficulty making their payments, but can afford a new loan
insured by HUD's Federal Housing Administration (FHA). Call 1 (800)

Tips for Avoiding Foreclosure
Are you having trouble keeping up with your mortgage
payments? Have you received a notice from your lender
asking you to contact them?
Don't ignore the letters from your lender
Contact your lender immediately
Contact a HUD-approved Housing Counseling Agency
Toll FREE (800) 569-4287
TTY (800) 877-8339
If you are unable to make your mortgage payment:
1. Don't ignore the problem.
The further behind you become, the harder it will be to
reinstate your loan and the more likely that you will lose
your house.
2. Contact your lender as soon as you realize that you
have a problem.
Lenders do not want your house. They have options to
help borrowers through difficult financial times.
3. Open and respond to all mail from your lender.
The first notices you receive will offer good information
about foreclosure prevention options that can help you
weather financial problems. Later mail may include
important notice of pending legal action. Your failure
to open the mail will not be an excuse in foreclosure
court.
4. Know your mortgage rights.
Find your loan documents and read them so you know
what your lender may do if you can't make your
payments. Learn about the foreclosure laws and
timeframes in your state (as every state is different) by
contacting the State Government Housing Office.
5. Understand foreclosure prevention options.
Valuable information about foreclosure prevention (also
called loss mitigation) options can be found on the
internet at
portal.hud.gov/portal/page?_pageid=33,717348&_dad=p
ortal&_schema=PORTAL .
6. Contact a HUD-approved housing counselor.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) funds free or very low cost housing
counseling nationwide. Housing counselors can help
you understand the law and your options, organize your
finances and represent you in negotiations with your
lender if you need this assistance. Find a HUD-approved
housing counselor near you or call (800) 569-4287 or
TTY (800) 877-8339 .
7. Prioritize your spending.
After healthcare, keeping your house should be your first
priority. Review your finances and see where you can
cut spending in order to make your mortgage payment.
Look for optional expenses-cable TV, memberships,
entertainment-that you can eliminate. Delay payments
on credit cards and other "unsecured" debt until you
have paid your mortgage.
