How Do I Approach HUD Bid With 2nd Price Reduction?

[Hans M.]

I've been reading a lot on the forums about how to bid on HUD properties, but I am still confused about how to approach a property that has had a first, and then a second, price reduction. Does the 88% net HUD rule still apply in each instance, or will the typically acceptable percentage drop on each price reduction? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There are no longer any absolutes as to what HUD will take after price reductions. At some point a lower offer in the 70% range might be accepted. Hud will typically manually review bids after a week or 2 when the property has received multiple reductions. Keep in mind, if someone nets HUD $1 more you are out
