Advice for Foreclosure Auction Bidding
Hi, I am brand new to investing and I'm looking to finally bid on a foreclosure sale coming up in my county in Florida- everything is online. I finally found a SFR that is within my parameters (been doing a lot of planning/ prep) and confirmed that theres no outstanding lien/ title issues, but I can't figure out my max bid offer. I know its a bit of art rather than science here, but Zillow/ Realtor.com, etc. fluctuate in estimates by almost $60k... I can't go see the property and its hard to check out from the street. How can i estimate what repair costs should be or a time frame?
Honestly, having a hard time even figuring out if it's vacant or not. Any recommendations how to approach this?
