Questions
Hi all,
Just had a few questions on HUD homes- hopefully they will make sense as I'm totally new to real estate investing.
1. Viewing homes on hudhomestore- how would I go about submitting an offer? Must you always use a HUD broker? If so, what is there commission?
2. What is a competitive offer? I know it will vary depending on the property, but is there a good baseline percentage to work from?
Any other information about HUD homes that you think would be good for a new investor to know would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Ryan
