HUD's policy for selling HUD-held mortgages securing unsubsidized projects is as follows:
Current mortgages may be sold with or without FHA mortgage insurance.
Delinquent mortgages may be sold without FHA mortgage insurance. However, delinquent mortgages will not be sold if:
HUD believes that foreclosure is unavoidable; and
The project securing the mortgage is occupied by very low-income tenants who are not receiving housing assistance and would be likely to pay rent in excess of 30 percent of their adjusted monthly income if HUD sold the mortgage.
