SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HUD announces its intention to sell in SFLS 
2015-1 certain unsubsidized non-performing mortgage loans (Mortgage 
Loans) secured by single family properties located throughout the 
United States. A listing of the Mortgage Loans is included in the due 
diligence materials made available to qualified bidders. The Mortgage 
Loans will be sold without FHA insurance and with servicing released. 
HUD will offer qualified bidders an opportunity to bid competitively on 
the Mortgage Loans.
    The Loans will be offered in two pool types. The Department will 
offer national loan pools for bid and will also offer regionally-based 
pools, with additional purchaser requirements, that are called the 
Neighborhood Stabilization Outcome pools. One of these Neighborhood 
Stabilization Outcome pools, in the Detroit Metropolitan Statistical 
Area, is designated for bidding by qualified non-profit or unit of 
local government entities only.

The Bidding Process

    The BIP describes in detail the procedure for bidding in SFLS 2015-
1. The BIP also includes a standardized non-negotiable Conveyance, 
Assignment and Assumption Agreement (CAA Agreement). Qualified bidders 
will be required to submit a deposit with their bid. Deposits are 
calculated based upon each qualified bidder's aggregate bid price.
    HUD will evaluate the bids submitted and determine the successful 
bid, in terms of the best value to HUD, in its sole and absolute 
discretion. If a qualified bidder is successful, the qualified bidder's 
deposit will be non-refundable and will be applied toward the purchase 
price. Deposits will be returned to unsuccessful bidders. For SFLS 
2015-1, settlements are expected to take place on or about August 14, 
2015, and September 18, 2015.
    This notice provides some of the basic terms of sale. The CAA 
Agreement, which is included in the BIP, provides comprehensive 
contractual terms and conditions. To ensure a competitive bidding 
process, the terms of the bidding process and the CAA Agreement are not 
subject to negotiation.

Due Diligence Review

    The BIP describes how qualified 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 SFLS 2015-1 at 
any time prior to the Award Date. HUD also reserves the right to reject 
any and all bids, in whole or in part, and include any Mortgage Loans 
in a later sale. Deliveries of Mortgage Loans will occur in at least 
two monthly settlements and the number of Mortgage Loans delivered will 
vary depending upon the number of Mortgage Loans the Participating 
Servicers have submitted for the payment of an FHA insurance claim. The 
Participating Servicers will not be able to submit claims on loans that 
are not included in the Mortgage Loan Portfolio set forth in the BIP. 
There can be no assurance that any Participating Servicer will deliver 
a minimum number of Mortgage Loans to HUD or that a minimum number of 
Mortgage Loans will be delivered to the Purchaser.
    The SFLS 2015-1 Mortgage Loans are assigned to HUD pursuant to 
section 204(a)(1)(A) of the National Housing Act as amended under Title 
VI of the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban 
Development and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, 1999. The sale 
of the 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 Mortgage Loans for this specific sale transaction. For SFLS 
2015-1, HUD has determined that this method of sale optimizes HUD's 
return on the sale of these Mortgage Loans, affords the greatest 
opportunity for all qualified bidders to bid on the Mortgage Loans, and 
provides the quickest and most efficient vehicle for HUD to dispose of 
the Mortgage Loans.
