offering of 1,406 reverse mortgage loans secured by vacant or abandoned
properties with a loan balance of approximately $336 million (June sale
or HVLS 2022-2, Part 1). The June sale consisted of one national pool
and one single-asset pool secured by a vacant lot in Omaha, Nebraska
(Single asset pool or Land only asset). The Secretary offered these
assets to qualified nonprofit or unit of state or local government
bidders and joint ventures with a charitable 501(c)(3) nonprofit
organization or unit of government carrying out a governmental public
purpose. This was the eighth sale offering of its type. For the June
sale, approximately 700 of these mortgage loans were awarded on or
about June 13, 2022. The approximately 700 remaining mortgage loans,
including the Land only asset, will be offered again on or about July
27th in one national pool (July sale or HVLS 2022-2, Part 2). Terms and
conditions of that July sale are outlined later in this document. Also,
this notice generally describes the bidding process for the sale and
certain persons who are ineligible to bid.
DATES: For the July sale, the Bidder's Information Package (BIP) will
be made available to eligible bidders at least fourteen to twenty-one
days prior to the sale. Bids for the July sale will be accepted on the

awards will be made on or about July 28, 2022 (Award Date).
ADDRESSES: HUD has expanded the eligible bidder types for the July sale

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces HUD's sale of due and
payable Secretary-held reverse mortgage loans in HVLS 2022-2, Part 1
that took place on June 8th. In that June sale, HUD offered 1,404
reverse mortgage loans but awarded approximately 700 reverse mortgage
loans.
Additionally, this notice announces HUD's upcoming HVLS 2022-2,
Part 2 sale of the approximately 700 remaining reverse mortgage loans
that were not awarded in the June sale. The reverse mortgage loans
offered for the July sale have a loan balance of approximately $141
million. The reverse mortgage loans consist of first liens secured by
single family, vacant residential properties, where all borrowers are
deceased, and no borrower is survived by a non-borrowing spouse. The
Land only asset is secured by a vacant lot in Omaha, Nebraska.
For the July sale, a listing of the approximately 700 reverse
mortgage loans will be included in the due diligence materials made
available to eligible bidders. The mortgage loans will be sold without
FHA insurance and with servicing released. HUD will offer eligible
bidders an opportunity to bid competitively on the reverse mortgage
loans.
The Bidding Process
The BIP describes in detail the procedure for bidding in the July
sale. The BIP or a BIP Supplement, as applicable, will include a
standardized non-negotiable Conveyance, Assignment and Assumption
Agreement, and any attached riders, for the July sale (CAA). The CAA
will contain mission outcome requirements.
Eligible bidders will be required to submit a deposit with their
bid. Deposits are calculated based upon each eligible bidder's
aggregate bid price.
HUD evaluates the bids submitted and determines the successful bid,
in terms of the best value to HUD, in its sole and absolute discretion.
If an eligible bidder is successful, the eligible bidder's deposit will
be non-refundable and will be applied toward the purchase price.
Deposits will be returned to unsuccessful bidders.
This notice provides some of the basic terms of sale. The CAA,
which will be released in a BIP or BIP Supplement, as applicable,
provides comprehensive contractual terms and conditions. To ensure a
competitive bidding process, the terms of the bidding process and the
CAA are not subject to negotiation.
Due Diligence Review
The BIP describes how eligible bidders may access the due diligence
materials remotely via a high-speed internet connection.
Mortgage Loan Sale Policy
HUD reserves the right to remove mortgage loans from a sale at any
time prior to the Award Date and the settlement date for the mortgage
loans. HUD also reserves the right to reject any and all bids, in whole
or in part, and include any reverse mortgage loans in a later sale.
Deliveries of mortgage loans will occur in conjunction with settlement
and servicing transfer no later than 60 days after the Award Date.
The reverse mortgage loans offered for sale were insured by and
were assigned to HUD pursuant to section 255 of the National Housing
Act, as amended. The sale of the reverse mortgage loans is pursuant to
section 204(g) of the National Housing Act.
Mortgage Loan Sale Procedure
HUD selected an open competitive whole-loan sale as the method to
sell the reverse mortgage loans for this specific sale transaction. For
the July sale, HUD has determined that this method of sale optimizes
HUD's return on the sale of these reverse mortgage loans, affords the
greatest opportunity for all eligible bidders to bid on the reverse
mortgage loans, and provides the quickest and most efficient vehicle
for HUD to dispose of the due and payable reverse mortgage loans.
