"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

submitted an offer, and in just eight weeks we
were moved in."

So far. I've purchased three properties from
HUD. partly to supplement my income and
partly for retirement. Fixing up HUD homes

talked with a number of other people who have
done it. and they've never regretted it."
