Can I get a HUD home with bad credit?

Answer by  mikkie180 (167)

The short answer is no. Except if you are paying cash, but since you are bringing credit into the question I must assume that you are wanting to take out a mortgage. Qualifying for a HUD repo. is no different than qualifying for any other type of home except that you will probably need a rehabilitation loan for repairs.

It is possible to acquire a home through HUD with bad credit however to better your changes it is recommended that you have a down payment available to show that you would be able to make the payments. I recommend talking with a Realtor in person about your situation.
