Many people have asked us about the foreclosure at 229 Center Blvd in South Richland. It’s a 4 bedroom, 2 bath, 2028 sq ft house in Willowbrook.  It’s been empty for quite some time, and has just become available for purchase through the HUD program for $182,000. This is a fantastic deal for the neighborhood!

HUD homes can be a great deal, but there are a few qualifications, and you need to be ready at short notice.  If you qualify, we can help you submit a bid.
- Current bids are exclusively for owner occupant, nonprofit, or government agency bidders (bids open up to investors after 30 days).
- Bidders must be pre-qualified. This is a step beyond the typical pre-approval.  You can get a pre-qualification letter from your lender after they verify your employment, assets, income, credit reports, etc.
- Obtain $1000 earnest money (must be Cashier Check or U.S. Postal Money Order).
- Submit offer by April 29th, 11:59 p.m. CST. We need all paperwork from you by the 28th.
- Overbidding–if you’re using FHA financing, the loan amount cannot exceed the list price. If you’re using a conventional loan or opt to pay the difference in cash, you may overbid the property (within your lender’s approval).
- Loan info–eligible for FHA 203(k) loan. Repair Escrow is $4202.00 (buyer’s responsibility to pay for repairs to the property).  The money is held in escrow until the the required repairs are completed (within 90 days).
- At the end of the offer period, HUD will generally accept the highest bid.
