Fulton County Foreclosure Process

[Mike Weber]

I have a general understanding of the foreclosure process in Fulton County but, never having done it before, I have a few basic questions:

1) I know what's being auctioned and the date - but how do I find out the time of a specific property's auction?

2) I know the property has a principal balance from the foreclosure notice that's been placed, but there's also unspecified interest and other expenses due.  Will that exact total amount be published anywhere?   How does the opening bid on the property relate to the total balance due?  (are they the same??)

3) I know I have to bring a handful of cashier's checks in various denominations with me, but who are the checks made Payable to?   I assume I can't get a blank cashier's check.

4) Do I need to register before the auction?  When/Where?   What do I need to have when I go do that?

Thanks in advance!
