HUD has approved a program aimed at putting foreclosed homes back into the hands of owner-occupant buyers.
Florida is one of several select states, from now into October of next year, where buyers need a down payment of only $100 to purchase a HUD-owned REO home.
The $100 down payment incentive program has been approved for two of HUD’s four national regions – the regions managed by the Denver Homeownership Center and the Atlanta Homeownership Center. HUD homes in the states listed, as well as the Caribbean are currently eligible for the program.
Atlanta Homeownership Center’s Jurisdiction:
• Alabama
• Florida
• Georgia
• Kentucky
• Illinois
• Indiana
• Mississippi
• North Carolina
• South Carolina
• Tennessee
• Caribbean
HUD’s $100 down payment incentive program can also be applied to an FHA 203k loan, which can be used to fund repairs and renovations on the home. The 203k program allows buyers to finance both the mortgage and additional money for rehabilitation needs with a single government-insured loan.
The buyer must be an owner-occupant, utilizing financing insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). Standard FHA underwriting guidelines apply, and the sale must be for the full amount of the current list price.
