Any tips for sheriffs sale of real estate

[Courtney A Hall]

Hi

I was looking around the market and wanted to get my feet wet and try sheriffs auction of real estate. What type of properties should I be looking for. What General area also should I look in. Low tax neighborhood or high tax neighborhood. Also what condition should I be interested in. I do have a contractor on standby to do rehabs. What should I stay away from? And another thing. would the open market be better to do rehabs.
