Hi BP,
I wanted to see if anyone is going to the live auction this Thursday in Norwalk. I've never been to an auction or purchased anything through auction so I wanted to go check it out. If any other BPers are heading out there, I'd love to meet up.

@Nabil Suleiman Great! Hope to see you there. Are you active at these auctions? I'm seeing a lot of posts mentioning its hard to get deals at auction these days. Is that the case in LA?

@Jackson Wu I have been tracking them for a while, but have had to cancel the last few monhs. This will be my first time going. How about you?
You will always see people talking about how hard it is to find deals. Every market has its opportunities, and you have to figure out what you want your numbers to be. If deals were impossible we wouldnt be seeing so many flipped homes active and sold on the MLS every month. We can talk about that more in detail because it can be a long conversation, but it depends on you, your palat for risk, and the numbers that make sense for you as an investor.

@Nabil Suleiman Same. This will be my first time going to an auction. I've scouted out a few properties just to watch the process. What company do you use to do title searches for these auctions?
