8. 3 Easy Steps to Advertise a HUD Home

9. Step 1 – Select A Property Use HUD’s web site as a resource. In most areas of the country, new listings are posted on Friday. Look for a property with broad appeal – price, FHA financing, owner/occupant priority. Visit the property and take lots of photos.

11. FHA financing is HOT, HOT, HOT, when HUD offers incentives: Low, $100 down payment vs. 3.5% down payment $1,000 contribution toward buyer’s closing costs with full-price FHA offer. It can be less expensive for buyers to buy a HUD home than to get a new apartment!

12. Step 2 – Create A PowerSite Create a single property site for less than the cost of a newspaper ad! Register the property address as the domain name of the property: 16650SCountryClub.com

21. Pay Per Click or Pay for Impressions? My personal research shows the same results with PPC and Payment Per 1,000 impressions. I recently conducted a test using the same ad. I paid 75 cents per click with the first ad and 31 cents per thousand impressions for the other. The average cost per click was the same for both ads. I suggest that you experiment with both payment models. At $1 a day, you can’t lose! Have fun!
