Foreclosure auctions tend to be fruitful for experienced investors. 

I'm looking into a sheriff's auction for a property where the owner is still an occupant. 

@John Cohen yea, it's a hard market, nothing stays on long, too many peopleI check the foreclosures at the courthouse weekly, the auctions for them usually have minimal people, I don't bid, I just like to practice evaluating dealsIf you're interested in this market out, while remaining out of state, let me know, I'm sure we could work out something

Home is up for auction with a ARV of 365k or more. 3700 sq ft.

If they have already done it, then it's now a bank owned property and you have to wait for he back to either auction it or list it on the MLS.

Hello,I am racking my brain over buying property in atlanta at auction and would like to pick someones brain if possible.

Attend REI groups and meetups and network with other experienced investors.Start with finding cash buyers.You will learn a ton from them and as you build a relationship they can potentially become a private lender or even partner with you on some deals down the road.Best way to find cash buyers is networking at local REI meetups, masterminds, Facebook groups, Realtors, title companies, closing attorneys, property management companies, auctions, Craigslist, and bandit signs.You can search real estate transactions in your tax database.

If bank scheduled an auction, can you still get the deal?

One of the companies who I should add came highly praised by BP.

Purchase price: $122,000 Cash invested: $8,000 Auction property that needed minimal work that was optional and for aesthetic purposes.
