  ***FHA Special Sales Incentives***
  

  We are pleased to announce a special sales incentive for owner occupant purchasers who will be utilizing FHA financing. HUD is currently offering a $100 Down payment initiative.  The $100 down payment is for owner occupants (Any individual who purchases a HUD home as their primary residence for it for at least 12 months after closing and who has not purchased a home from HUD as an owner occupant in the past twenty four months) purchasing a HUD Home with FHA financing, with full price offers. This incentive is also available to owner occupant purchasers who obtain an FHA Home Repair loan. It’s a great time to Purchase a HUD Home with FHA financing. This special sales incentive will be offered beginning with new and re-listed properties beginning November 23, 2007.

  Don’t miss this great opportunity to get into a home of your own and get an affordable and safe loan product. Interested homebuyers and Brokers can learn more about this sales event by contacting our Denver Regional Office at 303-758-6736 or view the attached FAQ Link.

  Note: Earnest Money Policies and all other contract requirements will remain the same; these incentives do not apply with any other discount programs HUD endorses. “Full Price Offers” refers to the current list price. $100 Down payment financing is available on most properties through FHA approved lenders

  **Broker Bonus Update: The previously approved Broker Bonus which became effective November 23, 2007 concluded as of February 13, 2008.

• Good Neighbor Next Door Program - HUD has revised regulations governing the Officeer Next Door / Teacher Next Door / Firefighter/EMT Next Door Special Sales Programs. These Programs are now known collectively as the Good Neighbor Next Door Program. Please click here for and on overview and refer to our Special Programs section of the website for more details.

• Broker Registration Deactivation:
  In order to be able to actively participate in the sale of HUD Homes, Brokers are required to recertify their Name and Address Identifier (NAID) on an annual basis. Failure to do so will result in deactivation of the brokerages bidding privileges. Recently, numerous brokerages were deactivated because of NAID expiration. Notices of the need to recertify have since been sent to all affected brokers. HUD and MCB will make a one time exception that will allow brokers to bid on properties  while their recertification is in process. This one exception will expire on January 31, 2007 at which time any broker that failed to submit the required re-certification documents will be placed in inactive status. Note: If your brokerage has not completed the re-certification process, your offer will be accepted, however your contract will not be signed until the re-certification process is complete. The re-certification process takes two to three weeks after receipt of the required documents.
  
  MCB has an online process for brokers to fill out their NAID applications and to check the current status of their NAID number.  To access the broker NAID assistance pages, select the state in which you do business and then select either the online NAID Application or Check NAID Number link located on the right side of the page under Broker and Selling agents.
  
  If your have any questions or need further assistance, please contact our NAID Coordinator at (888) 622-7361.

• CLOSING COST IMPLEMENTATION
  
  Please be advised that HUD’s new closing cost policy takes effect on any contract that is executed by MCB beginning on October 12, 2006. If your contract contains a request for more than 3% closing assistance, it must be received and in ready-to-sign condition (no corrections required) by October 11, 2006.  If it is not, you will be issued a correction notification to reduce closing costs to 3%. NO EXCEPTIONS

• NEW CLOSING COSTS GUIDELINES

Effective Oct. 12th, 2006 - For all contracts executed on or after October 12th, HUD will pay up to an amount equal to 3% of the purchase price for purchaser financing and closing costs considered to be reasonable and customary in the jurisdiction where the property is located. If the total closing costs reflected on the HUD 1 settlement statement are less than the amount indicated on the sales contract, HUD will reimburse only the actual costs charged and will not credit the purchaser with any difference either in cash or through a reduced purchase price. Within the three percent (3%) allowance, HUD will reimburse loan origination fees up to one percent of the mortgage. However, on an FHA 203(k) rehabilitation mortgage loan, HUD will reimburse one and a half percent (1.5%) of the mortgage. NOTE: If the purchaser is requesting HUD paid closing cost assistance, the amount must be entered on line 5 of the bid submission form at the time the bid is submitted. Adding an amount to the purchase agreement after submission of the bid is not allowed.  Please review HUD Housing Notice H-2006-12

• NEW LOTTERY for Disaster Evacuee's: HUD has announced a Nationwide Sale of Properties to Disaster Evacuees of Katrina, Wilma and Rita through its new Lottery System. Properties not previously listed that are eligible for FHA financing will be added to MCB's weekly Lottery and Evacuees with FEMA certification (FEMA Registration Number) who are eligible for disaster assistance will receive a 10% discount. Buyers have a choice to utilize two funding options - FHA Financing or Cash, to receive the discount. This includes the 203(h) mortgage for Disaster Evacuees or 203(k) including the streamline 203 (k). This discount is limited to properties bought through the lottery program only.

• New Owner Occupant Opportunity
  In order to further enhance Owner Occupant’s opportunity for home ownership, and HUD’s mission to preserve neighborhoods by increasing home ownership, MCB will implement the following changes for all re-listed and price reduced properties beginning November 11, 2005. MCB is changing the owner occupant priority bidding period to five days for all re-listed properties and when a price reduction takes place. If a property is re-listed due to a contract cancellation, a rescinded offer prior to contract acceptance, or price reduction, only Owner Occupant purchaser’s bids will be accepted for the first five days. All bids for re-listed and price reduced properties will be reviewed for acceptance on the sixth day. All bids during this period will be considered received simultaneously. If no acceptable owner occupant bids are received during the five day priority period, all other purchasers may bid on the 6th day after the bid results have been posted. All properties, including re-listed properties, will continue to be offered every Friday. This change will not affect the current back up offer policy of tentatively accepted offers.

• Property Listings
  On November 29th, First Preston stopped accepting bids on HUD properties located in the states of Colorado, Montana, Utah and Wyoming. On December 2nd, files for properties that were unsold arrived at our office. Each property must be re-inspected and reanalyzed before being returned to the market. This process will take time. Please check our listing of available properties each Friday to see if the property you are looking for is again available for bidding.
