The Department of Housing and Urban Development or HUD is a government agency that sells foreclosed homes that were secured by FHA insured mortgages. HUD pays the original lender the amount due on the loan plus any additional expenses. HUD homes are handled by property management companies and are sold at auction to the highest bidder.
