New to Foreclosure Purchases

[Vivian McEntyre]

I'm interested in purchasing a foreclosure. I am completely new to this as everything I've bought in the past is off MLS. How do you purchase a foreclosure in the state of Georgia. Do you have to have 100% cash ready and go directly to the court houses? Also, are you able to bring some of your cash by taking out home equity lines or borrowed cash too? Another question: do you get to visit the properties and perform inspections prior to bidding or do you have to just buy sight unseen always??

A newbie to foreclosures that could use any advice for getting started in this process.
