SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HUD announces its intention to sell in MHLS 
2012-1 certain unsubsidized mortgage loans (Mortgage Loans) secured by 
multifamily and healthcare properties located throughout the United 
States. The Mortgage Loans are comprised of non-performing mortgage 
loans. A final listing of the Mortgage Loans will be included in the 
BIP. 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 Mortgage Loans may be stratified for bidding purposes into 
several mortgage loan pools. Each pool may contain Mortgage Loans that 
generally have similar performance, property type, geographic location, 
lien position and other characteristics. Qualified bidders may submit 
bids on one or more pools of Mortgage Loans or may bid on individual 
loans. A mortgagor who is a qualified bidder may submit an individual 
bid on its own Mortgage Loan. Interested Mortgagors should review the 
Qualification Statement to determine whether they may also be eligible 
to qualify to submit bids on one or more pools of Mortgage Loans or on 
individual loans in MHLS 2012-1.

The Bidding Process

    The BIP will describe in detail the procedure for bidding in MHLS 
2012-1. The BIP will also include a standardized non-negotiable loan 
sale agreement (Loan Sale Agreement).
    As part of its bid, each bidder must submit a deposit equal to the 
greater of $100,000 or 10% of the bid price. In the event the bidder's 
aggregate bid is less than $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 bids 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. Deposits will be returned to unsuccessful bidders. Closings are 
scheduled to occur between December 21, 2011 and January 6, 2012.
    These are the essential terms of sale. The Loan Sale Agreement, 
which will be included in the BIP, will contain additional terms and 
details. To ensure a competitive bidding process, the terms of the 
bidding process and the Loan Sale Agreement are not subject to 
negotiation.

Due Diligence Review

    The BIP will describe the due diligence process for reviewing loan 
files in MHLS 2012-1. Qualified bidders will be able to access loan 
information remotely via a high-speed Internet connection. Further 
information on performing due diligence review of the Mortgage Loans 
will be provided in the BIP.

Mortgage Loan Sale Policy

    HUD reserves the right to add Mortgage Loans to or delete Mortgage 
Loans from MHLS 2012-1 at any time prior to the Award Date. HUD also 
reserves the right to reject any and all bids, in whole or in part, 
without prejudice to HUD's right to include any Mortgage Loans in a 
later sale. Mortgage Loans will not be withdrawn after the Award Date 
except as is specifically provided in the Loan Sale Agreement.
    This is a sale of unsubsidized mortgage loans, pursuant to Section 
204(a) of the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban 
Development, and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act of 1997, 12 
U.S.C. 1715z-11a(a).

Mortgage Loan Sale Procedure

    HUD selected a competitive sale as the method to sell the Mortgage 
Loans. 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.
