To Bid or Not to Bid? Red Flags?

[Andre B.]

Hello everyone,

I am planning to attend a foreclosure auction.  The home is currently occupied.  It could be a good deal, but the odd things are there are several containers stacked in the front yard.  I thought they were moving out, but the same boxes have not moved in a month.  Also, at set of windows are alway open...43 degrees outside and still open.  I haven’t been able to see inside.  Would you still consider bidding or are these red flags of a scary money pit?  Thanks for your help!
