Foreclosure info and understanding to confirm purchase abilty.
I would like to get some advice on whether or not this opportunity that I see is worth pursuing . I of course will admit that I am Green Round the gills and new to this whole experience . One thing that I will say is that the my untrained eye and the little bit that I dunno just from the BiggerPockets calculator this opportunity might be worth it but for my personal understanding on the steps on how to approach it so this is a chance for you to correct me where I'm wrong so I can gain that knowledge and understand this better . This house that I'm looking at is in foreclosure and to be sold on April 9th and from what I have known and contacted our County Treasurer Office Value at the house last year at 91,623k.
On the foreclosure list that I was looking at the house is for sale, 64k and some change, or at least that's the proper term I imagine it would be " for sale" perhaps as the starting bid or what is owed on the property to make it current?I'm not exactly sure that's why I'm asking...
If I write up a purchase-and-sale agreement and say I want to get the house for 20 maybe $30,000. is that actually the price that I'll be paying for the house or who would I still owe an additional $30,000 because the Foreclosure site listed at 64000k?
