Sheriffs Sale thoughts?

[Bryan Foxworthy]

New investor here! Looking for my first investment property and came across a property that is going to a sheriffs sale. I have no knowledge of how they work and I have never been to one. Is that a smart decision for a newbie? I have no idea how much the house will cost and I’m nervous about getting the house and then finding out it doesn’t make any sense. What do y’all suggest? Thanks!
