Use the HUD Website for Locating Investors for Your Buyer's List

Thanks a lot for this post. This means a lot to me for i'm still struggling to find more buyers to be added on my lists. LA

Very similar to what many of us are already doing with our County Records websites, but I never thought to apply it to HUD's website. It's bound to pick up at least a few people who won't be on the county sites...

Thanks for the tip!

Thank you for that helpful tip.

Thank you for sharing this info!
I've been struggling getting buyer's list together, this is very helpful

Rick:

I will do my best to try walk you thru the steps for the HUD Site:

1. Go to http://portal.hud.gov/portal/page/portal/HUD/topics/homes_for_sale
(there are several government agencies you can check out also)
2. Click on HUD
3. Pick your state, it will load a link to another site, click that link.
4. On the right side of the screen "Real Estate Agent's Corner", click "Search by City" under "Bid Statistics".
5. A window will come up with a list of Cities, pick the areas you are intersted in.
6. A list will come up of all the properties along with all the bidders for that property.

Hope this help!

Thanks for this valuable info,I am a newbie

Thank you for the step by step instructions. I am probably going to make my first offers this week, but I am apprehensive because I don't have a buyers list yet. I have a conference call set up for Wednesday with the president of my REI club. So, I am praying this meeting will build my buyers list.

Thanks for the info! As a newbie, I haven't thought about building my buyers list this way. Thanks for sharing.

I followed everything you said and got a list of the new "owners" of the properties on the county website. How do I know if they're an investor? Do I just call them and ask? What do I say to them when I call?

Please help,

Holly

I was having a hard time finding this info for Missouri. Chris said that he had done it in R.I. so I asked him how he did it. He responded with the steps which is duplicated in this thread above. I tried his method and found that it did not work in Missouri so I had to work a little harder to find it but I eventually did.

Go to my journal at http://www.deangraziosi.com/real-estate-forums/investing-journals/35914/... for the specific steps for Missouri.

Hope this helps some more.

Holly,

Many times you can tell by the owner name. If it is xxxx LLC, or has the word investors or investments in the name, that's a clue. In Missouri, the HUD listing identifies the owner as an investor or an owner/occupant. Also, in my county, the county website will name a man and a woman "H/W" This might indicate that they are owner/occupants.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tips guys! I went to my state HUD's website and looked under "Bid results" and have already found some new investors. I plan on calling them ASAP!

I also found some investors that are just listed by their name, not a particular company or LLC. Anyone have ideas about how to find these people's phone #'s.

re: HUD Website for Buyer's List

I'll be using this today to help build my list. Thanks so much for sending this info out to us. Very helpful!

Best regards,

Anne

Hey everyone,

I went to search and I only found three properties sold in late November and December around where I live. Do they clear off the older auctioned properties every month? Is there a way to find them or do you just have to keep taking down and checking the site for new sales?

If you are having problems with the strategy I layed out, you are not alone, I am having trouble making it work fully. However, I haven't played with the system long enough to get the hang of it and make it work for me. I learned it from another source. Each state is different. I would just advice playing around with the site and figure out how to make it create a list of motivated buyers. You might also consider talking to an agent that is listed on the HUD site or call the site's contact info and ask them questions you have. Hope you can make it work.

If you have an address, you can locate all the information 60 days after the closing at the county of deeds or tax assessors office if I am correct. I know that with the address, once the county updates the records, your investor's info will be listed.

Thank you, Brian!

Thanks Dean and Jeff it so wounderful conference, I used the tap recorder to listen again and again. I still need help and hand in hand and side by side. Please come here and help me.Dean and Jeff.

Thank you very much, Hoppy Holiday !!!

Dean people have a good Luck ,and Happy New year.!!

Great info. Thanks for sharing this.

Hope this works for me. My house is going into foreclosure, lost 2 jobs in the last 2 years. Haven't been able to find anything, probably due to my age, I'm a senior, and my credit rating is so bad it goes against me on job apps. So if anybody has a suggestion for my first step, I would be grateful. Thank you and have a very properous New Year.

Greetings Bonnie Oconnell,

Believe it or not I'd say you're in a great position. Have you gotten any of Dean Graziosi's books? They'll give you plenty information and action steps on how to sell property in foreclosure. Furthermore, you're the one negotiating the price; just let the buyer know you will accept no less than said amount (foreclosure amount plus fees). If there is considerable equity in the property you may want to consider adding on a little more for yourself to cover other expenses or RI investing.

Be optimistic and prayerful. Romains 14

Remember there are more answers than questions. More David's than Goliath's.

This is an awesome idea! I tried it, but have one problem. There are a few Investors listed but even the ones that have sold over 60 days a go have not yet been updated on my counties website. Im going to call them and ask their turn around time in updating. It does list the agent that made the bid...do you know of another way of getting the Investors contact info?

Thanks!

Julia

SECURITY!!!!!!!!!!

many thanks

I've been on the HUD site before, but never thought about building a Buyers list this way. I try it now, thanks.

Ty

Information! You never know where your next lead may come from! I'm definitely making bookmarks of these! It's always good to remember the basics!

Great!!!! Thanks for letting me know!!

not sure if you're still around, but this is a great post!!

and it is true, because I recently bought a HUD property out of state, and a couple of months later I received a letter from another investor letting me know that he had some properties for sale in that area
