Repository Sale!!!?????

[Ozzie Konar]

Hi all;

I was able to pull the repository property list of two of the counties in my area. So from what i understood these are the houses that are not sold at the Judicial sales and can be purchased by making an offer.

My question is;
Are these housses even worth looking into since they are not even sold in the Judicial sale?
So should I assume they should be in pretty bad condition with more than serious problems?
Are there any more risks with investing in these kind of properties than buying at Judicial sale?
How do I do a title search on the properties i select to put an offer to ?

Thanks all.
