HUD Homes Not on Open Market

[John Van Fosen]

Hey Folks,

I'm still working on finding my first successful deal (a few have fallen through so far).

There is a house in my neighborhood that has been empty for more than 1 year now. I've seen it listed on Auction.com twice, but it didn't sell either time (didn't meet reserve).

I'm very interested in this house since it is in my neighborhood (A class), a great location, great schools, it would make an awesome flip or buy and hold.

The tax auditor website lists the owner information as follows:

Owner	SEC OF HUD 4400 WILL ROGERS PKWY STE OKLAHOMA CITY OK 73108
Tax Bill Mailing Info	US DEPT OF HUD/T.ANDERSON THE WANAMAKER BLDG RE 100 E PENN SQ PHILADELPHIA, PA 19107

Is there a way to contact HUD about this property to make an offer?

Do I just have to wait until it hits hudhomestore.com (or other site)?

If I do have to wait, is there anyway to get notified as soon a this home goes on the market?

Thanks!
