Can a HUD home be purchased as an investment property?
Yes, but owner occupant purchasers are given priority for the initial listing period that the house is on the market for the general public. Owner occupants are persons who will affirm in writing that they have not purchased a HUD owned property in the last two years and they will live in the home as their primary residence for at least one year. After the initial listing period, investors may purchase the houses for resale or for rental.
