In a foreclosure, the amount you are owed automatically becomes your bid. 

When your 12 months is up, it automatically renews for another 12 months.

If I was to bid on the house, does the amount I bid automatically get applied to the IRS lien first because it’s the primary lien, or would I be applying those funds to the outstanding mortgage, and then be responsible for the full IRS lien?

In others, it's almost expected to have in-unit w/d (so installing them gets an automatic rent bump).

@Brooks McLean pick some criteria for what types of properties you would like to invest in and find a realtor to set you up with some automatic alerts of properties that fit your criteria when they come on the market.

@Sal Fichera, I believe that the MLSLI application will automatically make you a member of LIBOR and NAR.

The mortgage and all the bills are automatically paid. 

If they don't have "controller" title, doesn't automatically rule them out.

Not hypothetical, and real people not robots that live in cubicles please, put yourself in my shoes-1.

If you have a broker they will have a profile on all your current insurance so they run these numbers automatically for you.
