The Bidding Process 

The BIP describes in detail the 

procedure for bidding in MHLS 2018–2. 

The BIP also includes a standardized

submit a minimum deposit of the 

greater of One Hundred Thousand 

Dollars ($100,000) or ten percent (10%) 

of the aggregate bid prices for all of such 

Bidder’s bids. In the event the Bidder’s 

aggregate bid is less than One Hundred 

Thousand Dollars ($100,000), the 

minimum deposit shall be not less than 

fifty percent (50%) of the Bidder’s 

aggregate bid. HUD will evaluate the 

bids submitted and determine the 

successful bid(s) in its sole and absolute 

discretion. If a bidder is successful, the 

bidder’s deposit will be non-refundable 

and will be applied toward the purchase 

price, with any amount beyond the 

purchase price being returned to the 

bidder. Deposits will be returned to 

unsuccessful bidders after notification 

to successful bidders on or before 

August 20, 2018. Closings are expected

competitive bidding process, the terms 

of the bidding process and the Loan Sale 

Agreement are not subject to 

negotiation.

process for reviewing loan files in 

MHLS 2018–2. Qualified bidders will be

via a high-speed internet connection.
