Is USA seized real estate an opportunity?

[Michael Morrow]

Howdy BP!

I was driving for dollars and noticed a large 4000+ ft^2 house that looked disheveled. After looking it up I saw the deed was transferred to the United States of America with a mailing address of a marketing group auctioning seized/forfeited properties. I have not seen any posts on this subject on BiggerPockets, but does anyone have experience along this path?

Is this an opportunity with a motivated seller or will they manage to auction the property for a significant value of it's ARV?

I have not been able to find the property for auction / listing yet on the government auction sites. 

Thanks!
