Happy Friday!
I hope you all received (and read) my May newsletter:) I have tried to keep you up to date on what is happening in the Statesville area and the market and I hope it is helpful. This week I would like to talk about buying a home for just $100 down. That’s right, HUD has a program available that allows you to buy a HUD home for just $100 down in conjunction with a FHA loan.
Normally, FHA has a 3.5% down payment requirement, but this program works with just $100. It is available for owner occupied FHA insurable HUD homes. The HUD $100 down program is a great opportunity to get into a foreclosed home for only $100 dollars. On November 23, 2007, The Department of Housing and Urban Development better known as the HUD $100 Down Payment Program announced a new buyer’s incentive program which went into effect to allow home buyers to use a $100 down payment under certain circumstances.
The $100 down payment HUD program in Statesville NC and surrounding areas allows people to buy homes in which they plan to live, using an FHA loan, as long as they offer HUD the full amount at which the home is listed. Using the HUD $100 dollar program has great benefits including seller paid closing costs up to 3% and a FREE appraisal. You will not have to come to closing with any more than the $100 if you get them to cover all your closing costs. What a deal!
HUD homes eligible for the $100 down payment program have all been foreclosed upon by their lenders; the loans involved in the foreclosure were FHA-insured. Other foreclosures on which the loans were not insured by the FHA do not become HUD homes and are not eligible for the $100 down payment program.
HUD has a great site for answering all your questions about buying a home and FHA Financing.
