Good Neighbor Next Door Financing Colorado

The Good Neighbor Next Door (GND) Program is a HUD designated housing program for police officers, teachers, fireman and EMT's. Homes are located in revitalization aeas and are offered at a 50% discount from the list price. The buyer is required to live in the home for 36 months and HUD places a silent second behind the first mortage.

HUD places deadlines that have to be met and will release a property to the next offeror if dates are not met.
The most common…
