Nothing wrong with this - it could actually be a home run of a market, just make sure you are comfortable with your underwriting.I suggest buying data for your market on Pricelabs specifically ($10-20/ mo - worth it).

I looked at one where I feel comfortable bidding 59% of what HUD is asking due to the water damage in the basement (I couldnt see mold but I'm pretty sensitive to it and could definitely smell it -- was very strong and I suffered from some congestion for 2-3 hours after being in the basement)HUD has not disclosed the mold (unsure if the PM company missed it or their inspections were performed before the basement flooded -- guessing it only got 1-2" of water in it) however it was in the house long enough the humidity warped some of the flooring upstairs and warped the door going down to the basement -- however I did not see or smell any signs of mold upstairs so feel for the most part comfortable buying the house.Am I wasting my time submitting a bid 59% of what HUD is asking?
