Totally disagree. I've never used 2 HUDs and have never had an issue getting agreements from the lenders involved. but hey...I can sell ice to an Eskimo too :)
Bryant, I just scored big with doing this. Literally had WF want $172,000 NET on a HUD and I originally offered them $164000 net. HSBC second position. I offered them $8000 of a $130000 note. They originally approved $13000 (second lien position) second time around approved $8000. WF was ok to pay out $12500 to HSBC, but now, I got them $5000 extra, PLUS I found $3000 from taxes that weren't due we originally thought were. WF kept cutting commission to 5% but because of the extra I got from HSBC from doing the two HUDS, my Realtors got their full 6%...no need to cut.
Works great. Not every time, but when it does, it's well worth the attempt.
Hi Smitty. Its just a matter of having different styles. I've just never felt a need to use 2 HUDs. Maybe its because I'm old and need to keep things very simple. I get confused easily :)
Joseph, please don't tout the "fraud" card here. I've already explained, all my huds are prelim.(only if I don't have time to wait due to an auction, will I submit a prelim HUD without attorney reveiw) ALL my final HUDS are either done by title co or attorney.
Two HUDS is a strategy for me to poke the lenders to get an idea of what they'll bite at for a NET.
In section 500 you have a NET payout to the first lienholder, and then usually a line above or below that line with what you are offering the second lien holder (typically 10% of what is owed). (Unless you're me and you do separate HUDS for each lien holder, but I'm not going to get into that)
Smitty is there a reason why you would do 2 Huds and not just one? Should I assume you had issues with a 2nd lien holder wanting more because they saw what the first one was getting? Just wondering for future reference.
Yes there is a reason. I do two because second lien holders are notorious for asking more than the traditional 10%. So I literally tell the 2nd they are only getting about 5% of the note balance, and I HUD the first lien holder to show that they are to pay the second 20% or more. Usually when one approves I have more negotiation leverage with the other. Final HUDS are prepared by title attorneys or agents and they usually go off my figures.

LOL.. Bryant, you're not THAT old, and trust me, I get confused easily too...Comes from having too much of a chaotic lifestyle.
I only use two HUD's on deals with large HELOC 2nds, and NEVER on a Freddie deal, unless you want a friendly visit from their fraud investigators.
