USHUD Foreclosure Home Search 4+

First you spend time selecting the state and county want to search in. Then as soon as you selected you are required to fill out a form with your name, phone number, and price range. The form says you have to fill out this information to "prequalify" you to buy a government foreclosure. It's just a personal data grab. Once you fill out the form, you have to restart your search all over again. Every home listings shows a bunch of tiny some nails of the photos that you can't click on or zoom in on to see in any detail whatsoever. The text for every listing is over written by some other text from part of the listing so it's literally illegible.

While in the middle of trying to figure out this app I got a spam phone call, followed by a text message from the first real estate agent listed on the app. He texted me in Internet shorthand which isn't super professional. So I recommend putting a fake phone number or your Google voice number if you really wanna check out this crappy app.

First time I opened this app by accident and immediately tried to close. It locked my screen at the allow notifications screen and no matter what I clicked allow or don’t allow was just stuck there. Wouldn’t let me me do anything no matter how long I clicked allow or don’t allow. Couldn’t answer phone calls, couldn’t text couldn’t close the app nothing. Couldn’t turn off my phone, nothing. Had to get my phones battery removed by a technician to force the phone off. Thank god that worked and upon my phone restarting immediately deleted the app.

It doesn’t allow you to even view the listing unless you fill out a “government pre-approval.” Where you’re asked for seemingly basic information, though I have a feeling that once you do that, they will sell that info and use it to try and get more sensitive info out of you so they can sell that too. I can’t speak to other states, but I use to work for a county government agency in Ohio. There isn’t any such special requirement to simply view a listing foreclosure property.
