HUDs and Kisses

The Diva adores a good bargain; the evidence of her weakness for all things Reduced for Clearance is safely hidden behind the doors of her shoe closet.

It is rumored that your charming hostess spends her spare time searching for unadvertised sale events and resisting the urge to kiss unsuspecting sales clerks on the lips after finding particularly good discounts.

In the Diva’s humble opinion, one should never pay full price for anything. Even when it comes to home shopping.

If you are in the market for a new house do not miss the opportunity to check out properties offered by HUD (The Department of Housing and Urban Development). This website has nationwide listings of FHA foreclosed properties. If you hurry, you can take advantage of the $100 down payment program.

A good home inspector, as well as a Realtor and Loan Officer who are experienced in HUD foreclosures are essential for a smooth transaction, but the rewards can be enormous.

Be aware that the temptation to kiss the Escrow Agent on the lips at the closing table may be more than some new homeowners can resist.
