874 - What Does The Department Of Housing And Urban Development (HUD) Do? by Scott Gibson

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is a federal government agency that helps people get access to affordable housing. Most Americans associate HUD with public housing assistance and assisting low-income families. However, HUD programs also help individuals qualify for FHA loans, make home improvements, and enforce fair housing laws nationwide.  Many property investors are considering buying HUD homes to expand their portfolios. HUD foreclosed homes are often sold below market value, allowing you to rehab and flip the property for profit.  However, HUD housing programs are also a great way for families to buy their first home. Schemes like the “Good Neighbor Next Door Program” or the “HUD $100 Dollar Program” provide highly affordable financing options for low-income families to buy a home. This article explores what it takes to purchase a HUD home and whether this type of housing can be profitable. You will also learn the pros and cons of buying a foreclosed HUD property.
