Auctions in South Florida
Hey there!
I am looking to potentially purchase a condo/single family home to live in and refi down line in the Miami area. However, I have this huge fear when it comes to auctions. Titles, being occupied are my biggest fears. But I know it could be a great reward in the end.
Anyone have any experience in Miami or Broward County? Advice?

@Ronald Benson Yes, you have to make sure it is the first mtg foreclosing….not a second mtg or hoa, and check for back taxes, etc. More importantly, there no great bargains there…people are paying at or close to market value.
