HUD or foreclosures?

[Mike Naccarato]

My fiance and I have been exploring about starting up our real estate journey by purchasing a foreclosure, or a HUD home for our first ever house purchase. We would then house hack to help build some equity for future BRRRR properties. I have looked at different websites for foreclosures, as well as the HUD website, and it seems some of these websites provide different information on each. Is there one website to help with this problem? It also seems the HUD website has only a handful of properties in the Spokane area. Is it because there are a smaller amount of people foreclosing on their FHA loan? Would love to hear some opinions. Thanks!
