Federal homes, or government-owned properties, as they are sometimes known, are real estate that has been repossessed by the government because the last owner (who had a government-insured loan) defaulted on their home payments. Federal homes are offered for sale to the public by the government for very low prices because the government wants to get rid of the many thousands of federal homes that are for sale.

There are many types of federal homes available for sale across the country:

• HUD federal homes: These homes are offered for sale by the Department of Housing and Urban development (HUD homes). These federal homes are priced to sell and can be bought with as little as $100 down payment, in some cases. HUD also has special programs for fire fighters, teachers, and law enforcement officers, allowing people in these professions to buy federal homes for even less.
• VA federal homes: These federal homes are offered for sale by the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA). Not only are VA federal homes priced to sell, but they allow anyone to buy a home with all the benefits of a VA loan.
• Tax sales: These federal homes are being sold for arrears on property taxes. It is possible to buy these federal homes for the total costs of back taxes, which can amount to only a few thousand dollars, but these federal homes very rarely are actually auctioned off.

When you buy federal homes, you save money up front very often on closing costs or down payment, so you enjoy more money in your pocket right away. You also have to take out a smaller loan, thanks to the smaller cost of federal homes. This means that you pay less money each month on your mortgage and so you take more money home from your paycheck. In the long term, the low cost of federal homes means that you save in interest over the course of your mortgage, too.
