I really don't know...I never got that far but I assume its part of the financed amount...or the amount that would be paid out at closing to pass the papers...but I don't know.

Interesting....I am just learning this screwy system...and it seems no matter what I do..I lose. The more I learn the better...it seems pretty popular around the northeast...so I guess Hubzu is here to stay. I have lost 2 places that I wanted due to ignorance on the system....

I will  keep trying and I really appreciate the information and you sharing your experience...makes sense now as to how that back up bid was lower than the offers I was given by Hubzu.

PLEASE help me with HUBZU.com

I have made a few offers on a place on Hubzu. I was the highest bidder once but it did not meet the reserve price so they put it back on for another auction and started at my bid.

Someone then made a few bids and I made one too...but was quickly outbid. I watched thinking it would not meet the reserve and it did not. They then countered me and said my min bid to "still buy the house" needed to be $551k or "own it now" for $591k.  I was not willing to do that so I did nothing.

Another auction was set to end in 5 days at the new highest price fromm the last auction. I then received an email saying now I could buy it for $563k...(much less than the $591k from the previous day "own it now" email).

I again did nothing and then I got a message it was under contract. When I clicked on "make a back up offer" the min bid was now $538k!!! so $562k_+ with fees....it was substantially lower than $563k for "own it now" that  was offered ...

Does anyone have any advice as to what happened? How the "Back up bid min" would be less than the "own it now" amount they offered?
