“The six HUD jobs I’ve completed during the
past year have helped my business enough that
I was able to add a fifth employee. HUD
handles repair bids fairly, and their equal
opportunity policy really works.”
— Calvin Jackson, contractor
"Last year I helped more than a dozen area
families buy their first home through HUI).
I’ve always found the HUD people to be
extremely cooperative, and all of my clients
have received their bid decisions within five
days."
— Danielle Tranlong, real estate sales agent
"We weren’t looking for a home because we
didn't think we had enough money saved to
buy the size of home we wanted. A friend told
us about a HUD home she knew of in the
neighborhood. We called a real estate agent,
submitted an offer, and in just eight weeks we
were moved in.”
— Cynthia & Francisco Dominguez
HUD
“So far, I’ve purchased three properties from
HUD, partly to supplement my income and
partly for retirement. Fixing up HUD homes
for rental property or eventual resale is
definitely a good, long-term investment. I've
talked with a number of other people who have
done it, and they’ve never regretted it."
— Roger Crow, construction worker
