Way over my head this time...
Today was my first online auction. I researched several properties in my local/near by county's. Got a list of 4 potential properties, I checked the county records, drove by the houses, compared the value of other homes in the area and contacted a title company to make sure there wasn't any outstanding liens on it. At the end of the day, I was far outclassed at the time of bidding. Financially I wasn't prepared to spend upwards of 50-100k for those properties. Example, property 1 opening bid was 20k, it closed at 198k. Back to the drawing board for next week. Just wanted to share my experience.
Good luck everyone!
