Please tell me more about the "good neighbor next door" discount program by HUD

The Link for FHA's Good Neighbor Next Door program is at the bottom of this post.. It's a real program where you can purchase an FHA foreclosed home at 50% of FHA's listed value. The down side is that these homes are in the worst of the worst area's.. or what FHA calls a "revitalization area". I have had several clients over the years who qualify for this program, yet once they look at the neighborhood where the homes are located in, none of them have ever gone through with it, since you have to commit to living there for at least 3 years.. .. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona. If you or someone you know is looking for financing options, feel free to contact me or pass along my information. William J.

Most homes owned by HUD are available at as low as 50% of current market value.If you have average or better credit, and at least 3.5% down payment, you may be able to own your next home. As a teacher, you qualify for this program. I can give you more information. Please call me, Dave Metsker, at 503-620-2239.

The qualifications are the same for any FHA mortgage.

- but the home you would be purchasing could possibly be a very good deal. The limitation is based on what homes are available.

This is a great program and is an FHA loan that does carry mortgage insurance. And yes, if you do qualify you can get a HUD home for 50% off of the list price............... From HUD.gov: Teachers; You may participate in the Good Neighbor Next Door program as a Teacher if you are employed as a full-time teacher by a state-accredited public school or private school that provides direct services to students in grades pre-kindergarten through 12. In addition, the public or private school where you are employed as a teacher must serve students from the area where the home you are purchasing is located in the normal course of business...............First step is to get pre-approved with a loan officer so you know what you can qualify for. Best wishes, Sean

It is a real program! And it sure has it's benefits especially when you get a discounted price! "HUD requires that you sign a second mortgage and note for the discount amount. No interest or payments are required on this "silent second" provided that you fulfill the three-year occupancy requirement." Call me for more information.
