Foreclosure Auctions in Massachusetts

[Chris Cowie]

I have my eyes on a few foreclosure properties around Boston with auctions coming up. Has anyone had experience with on-site auctions in Massachusetts? I have access to capital and can run due diligence before the auctions but I do not know what to expect on the day of the auction. 

Does one typically provide a down payment on that day or the entirety of the purchase price? What is the typical timeline of a foreclosure sale?
