The great majority of the veterans who have purchased homes under the GI Bill Loan Guaranty Program have repaid their lenders on schedule however for economic family or other reasons a small percentage of Veterans or subsequent home owners stopped paying for their homes When the lending institutions foreclosed and then came to the VA to collect on the loan the VA paid the outstanguarantees ding balances on the mortgages and became the owner of the empty homes Through the years the agency has been selling these homes to interested buyers among the general public In order to continue to have the funds from which to make loan guarantees the agency has decided to conduct this “FIRST VA HOME AUCTION" of 101 Utah properties By selling these homes at auction prices the VA is putting people in vahomes cant and enhancing and neighborhood regional These home sales will cohesiveness mean increased economic activity of goods and through purchasing building repairs and will also result in the maintenance of the tax base in the local communities This may be the easiest method a person will ever experience in purchasing a home Each person may register by bringing cash or cashier’s checks (from any local banking institution) in the amount of $2000 per VA house desired to buy at the auction He or she will show this check to the clerk and receive a bid card and number When the bidding occurs all that the bidder has to do is hold up the card Successful bidders deposit the $2000 checks with the cashier as a down payment (If $2000 is less than 10 percent of the purchase price the successful bidder must deposit the balance of the 10 percent by 5:00 pm on the Tuesday following the auction) On the assigned closing date the buyer needs only to bring the remainder of the purchase price or the financing documents to the closing office to receive title to his or her home The homes will be auctioned by the auction company Larry Latham Auctioneers The firm was awarded the exclusive VA auction contract after extensive competition on a nationwide basis The in Utah are auction headquarters located at 124 East 3900 South Salt Lake City Utah 84107 |
