HUD Homes
Welcome > For Buyers > HUD Homes ...

As a HUD designated agent I know specifically what needs to be done in order to help you purchase a HUD home for the best possible price.  We can view all these properties at your convenience and all offers are initially placed electronically.  We will have a response to an offer within 2 business days unless it is during the initial owner occupant purchase window in which case it may take us 10 days  HUD does provide closing costs and they do pay Realtor commissions.  Click here to learn more about HUD homes.  Click here to search Illinois HUD homes.  Check this search page every Friday as new properties are added and price adjustments made at that time.

What is a HUD Home?

A HUD home is a foreclosure property currently owned by the Department of Housing and Urban Development.  These properties can be great opportunities to purchase for yourself or as an investment.  You will notice these homes have a 10 day initial offering to people who are going to live in them.  If the property isn’t purchased within that 10 days at a ‘fair’ price then the home is available for investors to buy.  If you look at each individual property you will also notice a property report which will give you some specific information concerning what may be wrong with the property.  Understand it may not be accurate as of today, but when the report was done it was accurate to the best of the inspectors knowledge.  The nice thing is there aren’t many other foreclosure properties that provide you with a report.  HUD does provide closing costs and they do pay Realtor commissions.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email Amy at Amy@AmyKite.com or call 847-877-9881.  I look forward to helping you with your real estate needs.

Real Estate Tips
Insurance >Do You Need Mortgage Protection

If you have a mortgage on your home, you may have received several offers from insurance companies that sell coverage to pay off your mortgage in the event you die unexpectedly. Although insurance in general is a good idea, mortgage insurance is usually a poor value in most cases.

If you read the large print, it appears that the policy will protect your family if you die before your mortgage is paid off. All you have to do is fill out the paperwork, have a physical exam, and pay a little more each month. The fine print, however, may limit the coverage relating to accidental death. If there are two people on the deed of trust, the policy may pay only half if one of them dies.

When considering mortgage insurance, call a good insurance agent before you send in your forms. Insurance experts usually advise against separate policies to cover various contingencies. A regular term life insurance policy equal to the amount of your mortgage will probably offer you a lot more coverage for your money.
