“The six HUD jobs I've com pleted d u ring the
past year have helped my business enough that
I was able to add a fifth employee. HUD
handles repair bids fairly, and th eir equal
opportunity policy really works.
— Calvin Jackson, contractor
"Last year I helped m ore than a dozen area
families buy their first hom e through HUD.
I've always found the HUD people to be
extremely cooperative, and all of my clients
have received their bid decisions w ithin live
days."
— Danielle Tranlong. real estate sales agent
“We w eren't looking for a hom e because we
didn't think we had enough m oney saved to
buy the size of hom e we w anted. A friend told
us about a HUI) hom e she knew of in the
neighborhood. We called a real estate agent,
subm itted an offer, and in ju st eight weeks we
were moved in."
— Cynthia & Francisco Dominguez
“So far. I've purchased three properties from
HUD, partly to supplem ent my incom e and
partly for retirem en t. Fixing up HUD hom es
for rental property or eventual resale is
definitely a good, long-term investm ent. I've
talked with a n u m b er of oth er people w ho have
done it, and th ey ’ve never regretted it."
