How to sell HUD homes
When a HUD Home becomes available for sale, usually it is listed on the Multiple Listing Service and on HUD's home page on the Internet. Any real estate broker who is properly registered with HUD may submit contracts for purchase. Brokers are used because of their expertise in the local residential real estate market and because HUD does not have sufficient staff either to show properties to prospective buyers or to assist in those other aspects of homebuying normally handled by brokers.

Colossal Castle or Humble Home? Same Price – Your Choice
The subprime mortgage crisis has hit. America is homeless, broke, foreclosed, and in the midst of a financial crisis. Similar to when there were rumors of the draft resurfacing, many of us are saying, “I’m moving to Canada.” However, I urge you to look beyond our friendly northern neighbor to a more majestic and—dare I say—regal era. From the rolling green pastures of France, to the sparkling coastline of Mexico, why live in a cramped, rat-infested junior one-bedroom when you can reign high in your very own castle?
