Buying HUD home with tons of extenuating circumstances
Hi, I am looking to buy a HUD home but have several extenuating circumstances concerns. How hard is it to prove extenuating circumstances as a reason to move out of a home early, and who is the judge of what is an acceptable "extenuating circumstance?" Would not be getting a traditional 203K / rehab loan and lender wouldn't care - only concern is being blacklisted from HUD for using an extenuating circumstance to exit the deal. Anyone have experience here?
Before we get into fraud, this is not an attempt at fraud; it is a genuine attempt to serve out the one-year occupancy requirement since I'd rather pay long term capital gains anyway or no gains at all if staying for two years. However given so much that is up in the air with different family members and career changes, what are the true consequences of defaulting on an owner occupancy certification and who is the judge of what is a viable extenuating circumstance.
