Uses and Use Restrictions: The Single Family Property Disposition Program includes initiatives which provide discounts of 30% off the list price to local government agencies and non-profit organizations that buy HUD homes located in revitalization areas. Homes located outside of revitalization areas are sold at 10% discount. Revitalization areas are geographical areas designated by HUD in consultation with local governments and interested nonprofit organizations which are either very low income areas, or have a high concentration of eligible HUD homes, or have a low home ownership rate. The purchaser enters a binding agreement that the housing assets will be used in conjunction with a home ownership plan with the primary purpose of expanding home ownership, and to meet specific home ownership performance goals, in the revitalization area in which the homes are situated. The home ownership plan must include rehabilitation standards that meet or exceed HUD's standards for housing quality. The purchaser also agrees that each home will be rehabilitated in accordance with those standards prior to sale to eligible purchasers. In addition, most HUD home sales are to members of the general public who may be eligible to obtain low down payment FHA insured financing to purchase their new home. FHA also has loan programs to enable new home owners to obtain FHA financing to repair and/or rehabilitate a HUD home. Under the Section 203(b) program, HUD insures the mortgage up to a maximum mortgage amount and borrowers generally will pay a low down payment. The homes may be new or existing one to four family homes in urban and rural areas. The homes also must meet HUD's minimum property standards. Under the 203(b) repair with escrow financing, an escrow account for up to $5,000 in repairs to bring the home up to minimum property standards is established with the lender making the FHA loan. The costs of repairs are included in the loan amount and are repaid by the borrower as part of the housing payment. This financing is only available with FHA loans. Section 203(k) loans enable a home buyer to purchase and rehabilitate a HUD home (in excess of $5,000 in costs) up to a maximum allowable mortgage amount with one loan. Investors must pay a higher down payment to participate in this loan program. Condominium and cooperative housing units are not eligible for these loans.
