Consider the following:1.

New blood in the forum is always exciting.. what's your top strategy for finding hidden deals?

I appreciate the kind words.

The following day I got a small counter back and I accepted.

But keep in mind if your using money you cant afford to get back then buying action property might not be appropriate for your current endeavors and its better to just buy open market were you can do proper due diligence and know you have a build-able site.

Hi Leo, its been years since I closed on a HUD property but you close on the property as soon as title is ready like any other property.  

What I usually see is that they start with the average $/sq.ft of the sales price in the area.

The property was impacted by hurricane Helene and there is no substantial damages letter issued (yet?)

Hard to do in the beginning but that's where I feel comfortable. 

I simply know where to find the nuts; under the tree of course.
