HUD Homes can be great for ready homebuyers or those eager for investing

Those looking for the inside scoop on some lesser known real estate deals should consider HUD homes, where those that are ready to buy can scoop up great deals. HUD homes are often popular for those interested in

investing, but they can also be a great path for cash-strapped but savvy homebuyers. The Equifax Finance Blog explores how these homes are different in a recent article, “

How To Buy A HUD Home.”

A HUD home is a special kind of

foreclosure which has been repossessed from Federal Housing Agency loans. In an effort to get these homes back with people living in them, HUD homes are often competitively priced with special incentives for owner-occupiers. These special incentives include a special 30 day window of opportunity for owner occupiers to put in offers.

The offer period and many other facets of HUD homes are different from traditional homes, so it is more important than ever to have an experienced HUD real estate agent when looking for a deal with these homes. The agent can help your tell good from bad in these homes, help you strategize through the online offer process, give you sound advice throughout the entire process and more.

For information about HUD homes as well as

real estate predictions and news, explore the frequently updated Equifax Finance Blog.
