Buying Houses Before Auction Date Months Out

[Tanner Barnes]

Is it possible to buy a house that's been defaulted on and is posted to go to auction at a later date, say 3-10-2020.

My thought process is that I could send hand written letters that the current occupant wouldn't throw away, ATTENTION GRABBING.

Just something like, I saw your house driving around, I really like the area and am interested in purchasing.

Would the bank go for this? Of course this is if the owner even brings it to the banks attention.
