The above picture is of the HUD headquarters in Washington DC. It looks similar to UFOs and I think there's a subliminal message in the architecture. Being a government building and considering society's definition of UFOs and abductions, I say the message is positive and we should all roll with it. If you happen to be abducted by a HUD home in Ohio, consider yourself lucky...
UPDATE** With the new tax credit of $8,000 for first-time home buyers in Ohio (2009 only), low interest rates, reduced home prices and HUD incentives (read below), now is the BEST time ever to buy a home.
If you're in the market for a new home, which you probably are if you're on this site, you may have heard of (Housing and Urban Development) or HUD. There are many HUD homes for sale in Ohio and the Cleveland area. Are HUD homes only for sale in Cleveland? No, there are HUD properties for sale in all the suburbs including Lakewood, Westlake, Rocky River, North Olmsted, Parma, Euclid, Cleveland Heights, Shaker Heights and the list goes on... Typically these homes will require some repair and it could be minimal to extensive. There are great deals on HUD homes in Cuyahoga and Lorain Counties and some incredible benefits to purchasing a HUD home.
- HUD is offering $2,500 cash back to all buyers at time of close.
- If you finance through FHA, you can put just $100 down on your home.
- Repairs needed on the home if any, can be financed directly through your FHA loan.
HUD is also the best choice for buying a home with FHA financing. I can't stress the amazing benefits of the two combined. I'm so excited about Cleveland area HUD homes, that we now have a HUD home specialist on our Howard Hanna team. You can contact Andrew Ginter anytime to discuss the entire process and I recommend that you do. 440.781.8737 or you can use the contact us form to send an email. Andrew has sold many of these properties and he has the knowledge about them like no other agent I know. You'll get all the benefits of HUD, FHA and working with what I consider the best HUD agent in Cleveland.
HUD homes are easy to look at and make an offer on. You will want to move quickly as they tend to sell quickly. Once you find a HUD home that you want to purchase, only a REALTOR can make an offer for you electronically so it's very important to work with a real estate agent from the beginning. You will need to have your pre-approval letter handy and be able to give $1,000 for earnest money, (A good faith deposit typical in all real estate transactions, similar to a security deposit) Andrew will advise you and walk you through the steps.
With the number of HUD homes growing in the Cleveland Ohio area and nationwide, HUD wants them sold and they don't want to hold on to them for long. This is a great time to cash in on the opportunity to own your own home and invest in a below market property. HUD homes are actually easier than bank owned homes as far as getting a good deal. Unlike banks, HUD wants these homes sold and they don't care about the loss.

With the first time buyer tax credit, and the good deals HUD homes usually are anyways, it's a great real estate investment. People need to step up and take advantage of the opportunity.
