HUD.COM - A good resource to buy?
Can people speak about their experience with HUD.com as a resource to find and buy properties? Is it worth it to sign up and pay the fee? Are there properties on this website that do not hit MLS? If the properties are listed on both MLS and this website, then why use this resource as the tool if MLS exists?

@Boris Peyzner as @Jason Hirko states, hudhomestore.com is the official HUD sales site. If you look on the bottom of HUD.com it says:
"HUD.com is not affiliated with or endorsed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development"
HUD.com is simply a way to scam people out of $9.95 per week, end of story.
