I don't see an auction date set yet - what are my options?  

Any time before the sale, the borrower may cure the default and stop the sale by paying the lien debt, costs and reasonable attorney's fees.The sale, which may be held no earlier than eight (8) days after the first ad is published and no more than thirty (30) days after the last advertisement is published, is to be made at auction to the highest bidder.SO you have to be ready to purchase the property very quickly.

I know that in a normal pre-foreclosure situation, an investor can negotiate a short sale with the bank by showing them how much more the bank would net by selling to the investor instead of at an auction.

As an auctioneer and consultant I see great transactions all the time; commercial and residential - the secret to equity success is to make many offers all the time. 

Hey Everyone, Just wondering what are some of the pros and cons of buying foreclosure auction houses...

Something doesn't sound right, The bank would want to sell it or auction it off, i don't think they would keep paying taxes and all and not know its in their system. you should do a title search on it, i have a feeling someone else may be paying the taxes so they can lay claim to it. it may be in your best interest to push on the foreclosure and see if they contact you.

I recently "won" an auction on Hubzu. 

This is done at most auctions but I didn't think it would even be legal to bid on the property you are listing if you are the listing site.

Does anyone have contact information in Arizona for bidders who attend county real estate auctions?

Do they also lend money for tax lien auctions?
