Where to Start Looking for a HUD House?

HUD’s Dollar Homes initiative helps local governments to foster housing opportunities for low to moderate income families and address specific community needs by offering them the opportunity to purchase qualified HUD-owned homes for $1 each.

I would start calling my local city and county government housing departments for $1 HUD homes in areas that they are planning to regentrify.

Dollar Homes are single-family homes that are acquired by the Federal Housing Administration (which is part of HUD) as a result of foreclosure actions.

Single-family properties are made available through the program whenever FHA is unable to sell the homes for six months.

By selling vacant homes with a current market value of $25,000 or less, for $1 after six months on the market, HUD makes it possible for communities to fix up the homes and put them to good use at a considerable savings.

The newly occupied homes can then act as catalysts for neighborhood revitalization, attracting new residents and businesses to an area.

Local governments can partner with local nonprofit homeownership organizations or tap into existing local programs to resell the homes to low-to-moderate income residents of the community.

To find out if properties are available for sale in your community, visit HUD Homes and click on your state.

Then look at the listings of HUD homes available.

If you find a home that interests you, you’ll need to contact a HUD-approved Real Estate broker (most brokers are HUD-approved), who can submit a bid for you.
