Teacher Next Door Programs
The Teacher Next Door programs discount HUD-owned, single-family properties by 50% to qualified teachers. These programs are designed to help in reducing crime, raising test scores, and promoting better relations between inner-city residents and teachers. These homes are located in designated revitalization areas, subject to a three-year owner occupancy requirement.
The U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) wants to make American communities stronger. The Teacher Next Door (TND) program is designed to further this goal by encouraging teachers* to buy homes in low and moderate-income neighborhoods.
Who Can Participate?
You must be a full-time, sworn law enforcement officer who is "employed
full-time by a Federal, state, county or municipal government; or a public or
private college or university." You must be "sworn to uphold, and make arrests
for violations of, Federal, state, county, or municipal law." Your employer must
certify that you are a full-time police officer with the general power of
arrest. You don't have to be a first-time homebuyer to participate. However, you
cannot own any other home at the time you close on your OND home. You must agree
to live in the HUD home as your only residence for three years after you move
into it.
Who Can Participate?
The TND program is open to any person "employed full-time by a public school, private school, or federal, state, county, or municipal educational agency as a state-certified classroom teacher or administrator in grades K-12 ." Participants must certify that they are employed by an educational agency that serves the school district/jurisdiction in which the home they are purchasing is located.
Teachers wishing to purchase a home under the TND program must be in good standing with their employer. Your employer must certify that you are a full-time teacher or school administrator. You don't have to be a first-time homebuyer to participate. However, you cannot own any other home at the time you close on your TND home. You must agree to live in the HUD home as your only residence for 3-years after you move into it.
How do I participate?
TND property is
listed
and sold exclusively
over the internet. Properties are single family homes located in
Revitalization Areas.
Properties
available through the program are marked with a special Teacher Next Door button.
Bids are awarded once each week. Your bid must be the amount of the list price.
You may submit your bid directly or utilize the services of a real estate
broker. Winning bids are randomly selected by computer. The winning bid is
posted each week on the web site where you made your bid.
You may also buy a home from a government agency or a nonprofit organization
that bought the home from HUD. When an agency or nonprofit buys the house, HUD
expects the full discount to be passed on to you.
The selected bidder may purchase the property at a 50 percent discount from
the list price. For example, if a HUD home is listed for $100,000, a teacher
can buy it for $50,000. To make a HUD home even more affordable, you may apply
for an FHA-insured mortgage with a downpayment of only $100 and you may finance
all closing costs.
If the home you want to purchase needs repairs, you may use FHA's 203(k)
mortgage program. This program allows you to finance both the purchase of the
home and the cost of needed repairs. You have the benefit of one loan for both
costs and one monthly payment.
Discuss these financing options with your lender.
Because homes sold through the TND program are located in
Revitalization Areasthere may be
additional assistance from state or local government sources. Local or state
governments want to encourage families and businesses to move into
Revitalization Area neighborhoods. Contact your state government housing office
or local municipal government and request information on assistance for
homebuyers.

about my second mortgage?
