Buying on Auction.com

[Don Meinke]

I see houses I am interested in on Auction.com.  I see they are advertised as occupied when I drive by they look darn vacant,,,but cant say for sure.  It SAYS right on their site its a crime to tresspass or bother tenants in any way.

Do YOU knock on the door, peer thru the windows anyway???  Are you uncomfortable with buying a house you havent seen the inside of??And possible defects it holds?  I have seen a few houses the foundation is completely junk,toast.  HOW do you compensate for that in auction bidding?

What would happen if you found out later it was a horrific murder scene etc?

OR do they let you look inside sometimes?

I see these houses that look good from the outside but yet havent sold on numerous times of multiple online auctions.  Will they disclose their reserve?
