SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HUD announces its intention to sell in MHLS 
2012-2 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 2012-2.
    There will be one Mortgage Loan Pool, Pool 202, consisting 
of a hospital note, for which bids may only be submitted by non-profit 
entities, Indian tribes, and Tribal organizations.

The Bidding Process

    The BIP will describe in detail the procedure for bidding in MHLS 
2012-2. 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 that 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 June 18 and June 22, 2012, for 
the first bid date and between July 31 and August 6, 2012, for the 
second bid date.
    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 2012-2. 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.
