Buying auction properties online using Auction.com

[Roberto Valencia]

I have been going to live auctions in my area without any luck. Either there is too much competition or the prices are too high and banks don't really want to sell those foreclosed properties on site. I have never bought a property online and I'd like to know if somebody can share their experiences purchasing auction properties online using Auction.com. What are the specific requirements and what to do once you win a bid on a property. I sincerely appreciate any feedback and comments before trying my first online bidding war.

Despite what you may have heard, auction transactions are as-is where-is on a cash contract with no contingencies. You will do all your research prior to bidding. Your only "out" is that rare case where seller cannot deliver marketable title.

And all the time limitations are on you... not the seller.

Read and understand fully every term you are agreeing to by placing a bid.
