But for many people, it is one of a number of sources of deal flow, to add to MLS listings, wholesalers, direct owner outreach, auction, etc.Assuming you are specifically talking about sheriff auctions, just make sure you familiarize yourself with the general procedures for the auction.  

@Frankie Paterno I have talked with a number of investors in your situation. 

I have a friend that is talking about joining Pace’s community.

I would also be careful talking to property managers - they may have no problem telling about "other" buildings, but change of ownership in their own building is a threat to their livelihood.

I just like to list places and keep them posted so I get a chance to talk to nice new people, like you.

But I might pick something else if I knew what we were talking about here.  

Talk to lenders and have some options ready to go and have clear buying criteria.

When I talked to a rep they said I could not be refunded that amount and now my trial has expired, so in order to spend my $48.61 I would need to spend $59 for the month. 

Definitely talk to an attorney if you go that route.One big thing: since you haven’t been inside yet, be ready for surprises on the repair costs.

I've used to it myself to analyze all of the 35 units I bought over the last few years and personally talked to 100's of other investors who've analyzed and closed on great deals using it.I'd love for you to actually try it and would be happy to receive and incorporate any feedback you have into future releases.
