Purchasing a property at Sheriff Sale : Mercer County, NJ

[Chaits J.]

Dear All,

I own couple of rentals that were bought as a regular sale and would like to venture into auction sales. There are a couple of condo's from my neighbourhood that are on auction schedule on Sheriff Sale list. Can you please suggest what are the steps to take in purchasing a property at auction.

My common sense suggest below but want to know from experts if i am missing any other steps.

a) Hire a Title search company and look for title issues ?

b) Check with condo association for any unpaid dues

Also once i purchase at the auction, what's the process to get someone living there to vacate ? How many months i am looking at if i have a tough occupant.

Thanks!
