Bill GulleyEven though HUD rules are national, the different asset managers have different rules for example:1 asset manager wants the deposit check made out to the settlement companyanother A/M wants the EMD made out to the listing brokeranother A/M wants the EMD check made out to HUD1 asset manger will accept a broker's escrow account checkOther A/M want certified checks only1 A/M want the EMD check sent with the contract to the A/Manother A/M only wants a copy of the check sent with the contract1 A/M want $500 min deposit up to $50,000 price then 1% of price as EMCanother A/M wants $500 EMD then above that $1,000So most of the HUD rules are the same but not all, go figure.
