Who can bid on HUD properties

[Chris Grave]

I am looking to bid on HUD properties - and trying to find an HUD-registered agent who can place the bids for me.

I plan on making a lot of bids and want to make sure the agent is "on-board".

I have found 2 (so far) and each has told me that they can't  bid on properties not in their area.

That is... agent works in state A and can't bid on properties in state B.

I have read a ton of stuff on HUD's web site - but have not found any stated restrictions regarding limitations on geographic locations.

Are there any? As a bidder, can I (the agent) bid on any property that HUD has to offer?

Thanks in advance!
