Community Advancement Programs One of HUD's main objectives is to provide opportunities for home ownership to those who have not had such an opportunity previously. HUD has set up special programs to assist in this endeavor. Revitalization Areas Many areas in our country have been hit hard by economic conditions. HUD was given authority through the National Housing Act to designate areas throughout the United States as "Revitalization Areas." Revitalization areas are intended to promote growth and expansion through home ownership and require federal assistance for affordable housing. Areas are designated as revitalization areas based on average household income, home ownership rates, and FHA-insured mortgage foreclosure activities. HUD-owned single family properties in revitalization areas are eligible for discounted sale prices through special HUD programs. Asset Control Area (ACA): Certain foreclosed properties conveyed back to FHA and deemed to be located in an ACA are first offered for sale to state, county, and/or local governments, as well as approved nonprofit organizations. HUD homes with an appraised value of $25,000 or less may be purchased for $100; all other properties sold under the ACA program are offer ACA program are offered for sale at a minimum discount of 50 percent of the appraised property value.

esson 2: FHA Loans and Mortgage Insurance - Continued FHA places a maximum on the loan amount it will insure. However, this limit varies based on the location of the property and the number of units in the property. For example, in the state of Pennsylvania, a property located in Philadelphia would have the following loan limits: Single Family Residence $379,500 Duplex $485,800 3-unit $587,250 4-unit $729,800

FHA Loans and Mortgage Insurance - Continued To encourage lenders to make such loans, FHA created the mortgage insurance program. This insurance protects the lender against losses that might incur if the loan defaults for the amount above the standard Loan to Value (LTV) levels. On loans that are 95-100 percent LTV, mortgage insurance usually covers the top 30 percent of the principal balance in case of default. Most private mortgage insurance (PMI) companies will lower the protection to 17 percent of the loan balance for loans below 90 percent LTV and to 12 percent of the loan balance for loans below 85 percent LTV. Mortgage Insurance

FHA Loans and Mortgage Insurance — Continued In general, many conventional mortgages require 10 to 25 percent of the purchase price as a down payment (typically, 20 percent down, or an 80 percent loan to value/LTV). There are exceptions, however, that may decrease down payments to around 3 percent for first-time home buyers, or increase them to 30 to 35 percent for credit-challenged borrowers. The typical down payment of around 20 percent reduces the risk to the lender in case of default because there is a buffer between the current market price and the amount the lender is putting at risk to lend to the borrower. FHA is not a direct lender, yet it works with private lending institutions to offer special loan programs that may help people purchase residential properties. FHA loans have more flexible approval requirements and lower down payments—even as low as 3.5 percent of the purchase price. FHA loans are only for owner-occupied, single family homes, condos, townhomes, or multi-unit homes up to four units. Commercial properties, apartment buildings, and other properties that would not be used as a primary residence, such as a vacation home, are not eligible for an FHA loan. FHA loans also helped borrowers avoid the previous three-year to five-year loan terms and their large balloon payments. Instead, FHA loans instituted 15-year and 30-year loan terms with full amortization, meaning that when the loan term ends, the loan is fully and completely paid off.

HUD Management and Marketing Program - Continued Field Service Managers (FSMs) and Asset Managers (AMs) FSMs and AMs are contracted to represent the interests of HUD and make decisions regarding the properties that will give HUD the best possible outcome for the homes. FSMs handle tasks such as: Inspecting properties Preparing properties for sale Maintaining HUD homes, such as landscaping, pest control, etc., while the home is in HUD's possession Handling payments of regular costs, such as utilities, HOA fees, assessments, ground rents, etc.

HUD Management and Marketing Program - Continued Field Service Managers (FSMs) and Asset Managers (AMs) Asset Managers (AMs) have five primary objectives: Accurately and competitively value and price HUD homes Achieve the highest net return on property sales Minimize holding times (meaning how long a HUD home is on the books) Create owner-occupant sales opportunities Properly account for and deliver to HUD closing proceeds in a timely manner. AMs handle such tasks as: Analyzing market and property conditions Representing the interests of HUD during the transaction Following HUD procedures in marketing properties for sale Performing cosmetic repairs on properties that meet HUD's goals (this is not mandatory) Administering discount programs, such as the Good Neighbor Next Door program Contracting with Local Listing Brokers (LLB) to handle properties in local areas, provide access to the properties, and support the sale process Ordering an appraisal to determine the price on a home Listing properties (through local listing brokers) on the Multiple Listing Services (MLS) and the HUD web site Ensuring properties are marketed according to fair housing laws and meet required standards for signage, advertising, and Internet marketing Communicating with FSMs regarding any repairs needed to the property, to maintain HUD standards.Selling and Buying HUD Homes When a HUD home is available for sale, the Asset Manager (AM) will list the property on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) in addition to HUD's own web site. Who can sell HUD homes? Any licensed real estate broker (or their agents) who has registered with HUD can find buyers for these homes and submit bids through an electronic bid process. To register to sell HUD homes, you must: Sign HUD's Selling Broker Certification forms. You can do this by following the broker registration link on the Management and Marketing Contractors page for your state. You will need to submit the following forms (click each link for a copy of the form): SAMS 1111 Broker Application SAMS 1111A Selling Broker Certification Attach required documentation, such as: Copy of broker's license IRS documentation Driver's license Utility bill or phone bill Send forms to the Asset Manager (AM) who will forward the forms to the Home Ownership Center (HOC) in your area. Separate registration forms and signatures are required for each office in a multi-office firm. After processing (usually in three to eight weeks), you will receive an official NAID number (Name Address Identifier). Registrations must be renewed annually or when any changes are made to the name or address of the broker.

HUD Management and Marketing Program - Continued HUD homes are divided into 10 geographic areas, and these areas are divided among up to three Asset Managers (AMs). Each area to be covered is large with many properties to be sold. As a result, AMs are responsible for hiring licensed real estate brokers who are responsible for listing properties in local areas. These brokers, called Local Listing Brokers, are hired to perform the tasks involved in the listing processes, such as the following: Listing the properties on the MLS Placing "For Sale" signs on the property Doing final prep work on the property for showings Distributing keys to the selling brokers who wish to show houses to prospective buyers Presenting accurate and complete contract packages to AMs for submission to HUD Holding open houses on the property as needed. The M&M III program has changed the way Local Listing Brokers are compensated. In the past, Local Listing Brokers would receive compensation only if they actually found a buyer, and they would receive the full commission. Now Local Listing Brokers are compensated in the same manner as listing brokers are in most private sales: the local listing broker shares the commission with the Selling Broker. HUD has mandated that commissions will be on a 50/50 split. In states that allow agency relationships in which a broker can represent both the buyer and the seller in the same transaction, the Local Listing Broker can also represent buyers in a HUD home transaction. Consult with your state regulatory board and your state agency laws to see if this is permissible in your state. ach Asset Manager (AM) will determine how to acquire and choose Local Listing Brokers for their areas. The selection or qualification process is not mandated.

Lesson 2: FHA Loans and Mortgage Insurance — Continued FHA mortgage insurance is paid by the borrower and usually costs about 5 percent of the original loan amount per year, plus an upfront insurance premium. The upfront premium is paid at closing or is added to the loan amount. These premiums are mandatory if a borrower wants to get an FHA loan. As of March 2014, the upfront mortgage insurance premium is 1.75 percent of the loan amount. That would be about $3,500 on a $200,000 mortgage loan, for example. The annual mortgage insurance premium varies depending on the loan's terms and loan-to-value ratio. In 2014, it can range from 0.45 percent to 1.35 percent of the loan amount. Previously, private mortgage insurance companies could require the insurance to be paid for the life of the loan. However, in 1998, the Federal Government passed the Homeowners Protection Act, requiring lenders to cancel the mortgage insurance requirement when the principal balance reaches 78 percent of the home's purchase price. However, it should be noted that The Homeowners Protection Act does not apply to Veterans Affairs (VA) or FHA loans, and only covers private residential mortgages purchased after July 29, 1999. The Act also posts a new set of requirements for "high risk" mortgages. As of June 2013, everything returned to square one. Private mortgage insurance was once again permanent on FHA loans for the life of the loan. Then, effective January 2017, there are variables affecting when it can be canceled and when it remains for the life of the loan.

If the lender takes possession of the property through foreclosure action or another method (see next screen) on an FHA-insured loan, the lender submits a claim against the mortgage insurance. As a condition of receiving payment on the claim, the lender will transfer the deed of ownership to HUD. Now HUD owns the residential property, which is considered real estate owned (REO). That property cannot stay in HUD's inventory because the funds HUD paid to the lender are now out of the insurance funds and need to be reimbursed. The funds in the mortgage insurance funds come from mortgage insurance premiums. The longer that these properties stay on HUD's books, the longer the fund goes without reimbursement. HUD must recoup as much money as possible from the sale of these homes to keep the funds available for other claims.Foreclosures on FHA Loans and Deed Transfers to HUD - Continued The most common method for HUD to obtain ownership of properties is through foreclosure of properties with FHA-insured loans. However, there are other methods. The type of acquisition may impact the method by which the Field Service Manager (FSM) and Asset Manager (AM) are informed of the new assignment and the scope of services required. A listing of possible acquisition sources follows. Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure: These are properties conveyed to HUD by a mortgagee following a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure of an FHA insured mortgage, which means the borrower gave up the property to the lender without a foreclosure sale and then the lender filed a claim against the FHA mortgage insurance. Custodial Properties: These are properties secured by a second mortgage or home equity conversion mortgage (HECM), which are in default and, upon inspection by the FSM, determined to be vacant or abandoned. Foreclosed Secondary Held Mortgages (SHMs): These are properties acquired as the result of the foreclosure of a mortgage serviced by HUD including assigned and purchase money mortgages. Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECM): These properties were acquired as the result of foreclosure of a reverse mortgage insured by FHA. Legal Settlement: These properties were acquired as a result of a lawsuit or for other reasons such as to accommodate another federal agency and not insured by FHA. Repurchases/ Buy Backs: These are properties repurchased by HUD to resolve a post sale claim by the purchaser of a HUD Home. 184s: These are properties located on Native American or tribal lands and acquired as a result of foreclosure of a loan guaranteed by HUD's Office of Native American Programs (ONAP) under the Section 184, Loan Guarantee for Indian Housing Program of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992. 312s: These properties were acquired as a result of foreclosure of a HUD Community Planning and Development's Rehabilitation Mortgage.

Lesson 2: FHA Loans and Mortgage Insurance FHA Logo The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) was established in 1934 during the heart of the Great Depression. The economic conditions of the time were very bleak. Unemployment was around 25 percent or more. If someone wanted to buy a home using financing, the lending terms were very difficult, sometimes requiring 50 percent down, high interest rates, and repayment of the loan within three to five years, culminating in a huge balloon payment. Only about 40 percent of all households owned their own homes. The FHA began insuring loans for lenders. Because of this insurance, lenders were more willing to extend credit. To avoid the problems with mortgages in the past, the FHA developed the 30-year fully amortizing fixed-rate loan program. Borrowers were no longer faced with large balloon payments and could be assured that their loans could be paid off at the end of their term. The longer amortization also meant lower monthly payments for borrowers. During the 1940s, new FHA programs were developed to help veterans returning home from World War II. Later, other home ownership programs were developed specifically to help the elderly, the disabled, and lower income Americans.

Lesson 1: HUD Management and Marketing Program To manage and sell the large numbers of properties in HUD's possession, HUD created the Management and Marketing (M&M) program. Originally developed in 1999, this program outsources the functions of managing and selling HUD homes to private, licensed real estate brokerages throughout the United States, the Caribbean, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands. HUD administers the M&M program from four Home Ownership Centers (HOCs), located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Atlanta, Georgia; Denver, Colorado; and Santa Ana, California. Originally, the M&M contractors performed both the property management and sales of HUD homes. However, as of July 31, 2010, the M&M Program transitioned to M&M III, in which the functions of property management and marketing were split into four different types of vendors: Field Service Managers (FSM) — These private companies maintain and manage the pool of HUD homes in a given area. Their priority is to inspect, repair, and maintain these properties until they can be sold on the open market. Asset Managers (AM) — These private companies (separate from the FSMs) are responsible for listing and selling the homes within their assigned geographic area. Mortgagee Compliance Manager (MCM) — These private companies are responsible for pre- and post-property conveyance activities, including approval of claims for payments, title reviews, and inspection reviews. Oversight Monitors (OM) — These private companies review the performance of the overall REO portfolio and provide auditing and oversight of the entire disposition process. This division of responsibility allows the contractors to specialize. This process streamlines operations, provides flexibility, and capitalizes on expertise. Each area may have several companies in the FSM and AM roles, enabling competition, improving responsiveness, reducing risk, and increasing potential returns.

Lesson 1: Introduction Yes, Uncle Sam is in the Real Estate Business! The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) sells approximately 40,000 single-family homes each year. HUD lists these properties with private real estate brokers, and buyers can purchase these homes, often at a discount. You may be taking this course because you want to get involved in the HUD home sales process, take advantage of the opportunity, and list some of these properties in your area. If so, you probably have some questions, such as: How did a department of the Federal government obtain so many residential properties? How can I list some of these properties? How much commission can I earn by selling HUD homes? What is the process? What are the restrictions and guidelines? How are these properties assigned to agents? This course aims to answer all of these and many more questions, and will give you the tools necessary to list and successfully sell HUD homes.

Lesson 1: Introduction — Continued What is a HUD Home, anyway? One of the departments within HUD is the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). The FHA was developed in 1934 to help more people obtain home ownership. The main function of the FHA is to work with mortgage lenders to insure certain types of mortgage loans. This insurance makes home ownership more affordable and accessible to lower income earners. FHA insurance covers any losses that the lender may incur if the home goes into foreclosure. If a borrower obtains a home mortgage with an FHA loan and then the home is foreclosed because of a default, the lender can go to FHA and make a claim against the mortgage insurance and receive compensation for any losses incurred by the lender. In exchange, HUD receives the deed on the property. Therefore, these properties are owned by HUD. HUD does not want to hold an inventory of houses! It needs to sell these homes as quickly as possible so it can replenish the mortgage insurance funds and cover other claims. Here is a link to HUD's listing site.

Community Advancement Programs - Continued Good Neighbor Next Door (GNND) Initiatives: Full-time law enforcement officers, pre-kindergarten through 12th grade teachers, firefighters/emergency medical technicians, qualified nonprofit organizations, and government entities may purchase HUD homes at a discount of 50 percent off the list price of the home. In return, these buyers must commit to live in the property for at least 36 months as their sole residence. Buyers who wish to participate in the GNND program submit their bid through a registered broker. The amount of the discount (50 percent of the sale price) becomes a silent second mortgage on the property. The home buyer does not need to make any payments on this note nor is any interest accrued as long as the 36-month occupancy requirement is met. The silent second mortgage is reduced to zero at the end of the three-year period. Earlier move out may initiate substantial penalties. The home buyer must not have owned any other real estate for one year prior to participating in the GNND program. Nonprofits and government agencies must submit a housing plan to HUD prior to their approval to participate under the program. In the housing plan, nonprofits and government agencies must identify an area (either certain zip codes or census tracts in which they are interested). They are then restricted to purchases in those areas. GNND and other special sales program properties are available for five days before they are for sale to the public. Eligible buyers are selected by lottery from those who indicate a willingness to buy and who meet all the other requirements and restrictions. They do not bid, but rather offer "full price" and get the appropriate discount (10-50 percent off the listed price) at the time of settlement and closing. All buyers, including those who qualify for GNND participation, must be represented by a HUD-registered broker with a NAID number.

Compensation for Listing and/or Selling To encourage brokers to sell HUD homes, the selling agent and the listing agent may each receive up to 3 percent commission (6 percent in total), based on the sales price of the property. However, the percentage of commission is determined by the Asset Manager (AM) based on the salability of the home and the market conditions. AMs are judged based on the total revenue returned to HUD, so if they can sell homes with lower commissions, then it is in their prerogative to do so. The commission will be stated on the MLS listing.

he commission for a property is shared equally between the Local Listing Broker and the Selling Broker. If, in the negotiations with the buyer, the Selling Broker chooses to reduce their commission to secure the sale, they can only reduce their portion of the commission. For example, let's say a property has a total commission of 5 percent. In this case, 2.5 percent would be given to the Local Listing Broker and 2.5 percent to the Selling Broker. If the Selling Broker decided to reduce the commission by ½ percentage point, this would be deducted only from the Selling Broker's part of the total commission, so the Local Listing Broker would still receive 2.5%, but the Selling Broker would receive 2%. Note Only licensed, registered real estate brokers and their agents can receive commissions on HUD home sales. Asset Managers (AMs), Local Listing Brokers, Selling Brokers, and their employees or immediate family members, cannot directly or indirectly receive any form of payment, income, revenue, compensation, or anything else of value from any person or entity, other than HUD or the AM in performance of his/her duties in a HUD home transaction. In some instances, the AM may retain the services of a Broad Listing Broker (BLB) to aide in the distribution of assets. A BLB assists the AMs in managing the functions of the Local Listing Brokers (LLB). When a BLB is used, a portion of commissions may be directed to the BLB for their services. Please consult with your AM to determine if a BLB will be used in your area.
