SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HUD
announces its intention to sell in SFLS
2011–2 certain unsubsidized nonperforming mortgage loans (Mortgage
Loans) secured by single family
properties located throughout the
United States. A listing of the Mortgage
Loans will be included in the due

with servicing released. HUD will offer
qualified bidders an opportunity to bid
competitively on the Mortgage Loans.

procedure for bidding in SFLS 2011–2.
The BIP will also include a standardized
non-negotiable Conveyance, Assignment
and Assumption Agreement (CAA
Agreement). Qualified bidders will be
required to submit a deposit with their
bid. Deposits are calculated based upon
each qualified bidder’s aggregate bid
price.
HUD will evaluate the bids submitted
and determine the successful bid, in
terms of the best value to HUD, in its
sole and absolute discretion. If a
qualified bidder is successful, the
qualified bidder’s deposit will be nonrefundable and will be applied toward
the purchase price. Deposits will be
returned to unsuccessful bidders. For
the 2011–2 sale action, settlements are
expected to take place on July 13, 2011
and August 18, 2011.
This notice provides some of the basic
terms of sale. The CAA Agreement,
which will be included in the BIP, will
provide comprehensive contractual
terms and conditions. To ensure a
competitive bidding process, the terms
of the bidding process and the CAA
Agreement are not subject to
negotiation.
Due Diligence Review
The BIP will describe how qualified
bidders may access the due diligence
materials remotely via a high-speed
Internet connection.
