This protects you in the deal if the home appraisal is low or a home inspection finds major issues with the property.Have your finances in order with either a pre-approval letter or cash to buy the home.

First, find an excellent realtor that is familiar with Nashville and has been in the RE game long enough to have seen the ups and downs from pre/post-Covid.

Steve: If you are going to bid on an Ohio Common Pleas Court  foreclosure, the process is pretty safe because the foreclosing lender has to include a "PJR" which is actually a "Preliminary Judicial Report" which is a title report and include a commitment for title insurance should the bidder be successful and the property to be conveyed.This differs from a liquidation auction by a lender, private auctioneer, receiver (other than an actual foreclosure case) where you might be successful but the property has pre existing liens that don't get swept away by the foreclosure case.For your first one of these, get a lawyer to advise you.
