There are state specific procedures, like tow companies use for car auctions.

Oftentimes the auctions and direct mail campaigns can put newer investors out of their comfort zone so they are okay just taking properties off MLS

This year I decided to register and attend my first tax lien auction.

Cara Tapken Big box banks don’t deal directly with the public.They have policies of either selling at auction or on the mls.

I started exploring foreclosure auctions for the past year, found a rare opportunity for a house similar to what I'm renting now that needs minimal work, and am in the process of financing for purchase price of $413,000 (mortgage would be less than rent at $1800/month but could flip for $625,000).Because our market is so high and these come by once or twice a year (so many investors here eating up the foreclosures), would you 1. flip right away 2. rent 6 months then refinance and keep 3. rent 1 year rental then sell or 4. live-in flip 2 years? 

I got a call from an investor yesterday I know who wanted my eyes on a property he recently won at auction. 

So many foreclosures and auction purchases in lower income areas have really slowed down the market recovery in those areas.

If it does go to auction it will sell for even less, because of the risk of buying at auction. 

We purchase properties in foreclosure and tax auctions in Richland and Lexington counties and looking for someone able to market and sell for the best ROI possible.

I am looking for information to help me learn about buying homes from online auctions.
