Post: Advice on First Time Auction Attending

Hi Everyone. I'm a newbie to the REI scene. I'm not looking to buy immediately but I'm doing my research. There happens to be an auction about 2 blocks down the street from me today at 5pm. I would like to go to this auction with no intentions to buy but rather to see how it all works.

Is this ok to do?  Can anyone offer advice on how to approach this or what I should be looking for during the auction?

Thanks in advance

@Tyler Von Harz I was born and raised in Clarks Summit, PA.  Currently have family in the area still.

@Paul Timmins Thank you so much for the information.  I have the BP podcast playing right now.  I listen to it during my 9-5.

I've got a lot more research and learning but hopefully I'll be ready to buy in 6 months or so

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone

@Brady Boyer, My property is actually located in Maryland.  It was our previous residence before we moved into PA.

Hi everyone!

My name is Robb and I'm from PA.  I wouldn't call myself and investor by any means but I've always been interested in real estate.  I currently have 1 rental property that I own (previous residence).  Unfortunately that's not making me any money due to the factors involved when we had to relocate but I do have some extra funds that I would like to use to start investing in real estate

I'm not looking to quit my job since I actually like what I do but I am very interested in real estate investment.

I've been reading some of Brandon's books and attending the webinars from this site and I'm hoping to start investing in the next 6 months or so.
