WHAT THE HECK DOES THIS MEAN?!?!
This means that the mortgage that was foreclosed was a reverse mortgage.
The sale of these properties is regulated by HUD, and 24 CFR 206.125 is the specific location in the federal code. In essence, these regulations control how the property is sold and the Seller CANNOT deviate from these guidelines.
Some particulars:
- The most important, at least for buyers, is that the property CANNOT sell for less than the appraised value, which is the list price
- We accept offers from both Owner Occupants and Investors
- Earnest Money for investors and cash offers is a minimum 10% or $1,000, whichever is greater
- Earnest Money will be held by Sellers attorney
- 90% of the time the Seller is Fannie Mae; the other 10% it as another GSE (Government Subsidized Entity)
- Property is NOT Homepath eligible
- Property is NOT a HUD home
- There are deed restrictions for investors
- Seller WILL NOT pay closing costs
- Seller WILL NOT do any repairs
- Seller WILL NOT connect utilities
- There is a cap on what the Seller will spend on these properties; this can result in the property not being trashed out, cleaned, etc.
- Property is SOLD AS-IS, WHERE IS
If your offer does not meet these particulars, please know it will be rejected. Seller counter, if any, will be at least these requirements.
Please also note that, once we are under contract, Seller will not offer any concessions, repairs, or price reductions for any issues that arise during the Due Diligence period or loan approval process. Buyer can, of course, terminate during that period.
