Also, what kind of wholesale deals and auction prices can you find for 3 bd 2 ba / 4 bd 2 bath single fams, and duplex? 

Today I found out the other side of the duplex is in foreclosure and will be auctioned on the 20th of this month.

You do have to attend the auction in person and they are held the first Tuesday of every month. 

It is the fine details that are often different (eg, there is no such thing as a forclosure in Ontario, there is no "courthouse steps" auction, there is no "absentee owner list" and the rules regarding landlord/tenant are wildly anti-landlord here).

There are two types of auctions that you want to attend.

HiI am from Northshore Chicago,would like to invest in  property went from short sale to direct into auction ,but don't the process of auction very well.

Don't go to the black-brown though because it shows every speck of dust and if someone's had it before,  they won't want it again.Depending on the amount of time you have, maybe you could look into a liquidation place or auction for flooring too because you'll need so much.

We purchased our first home (deal) in July 2016 via auction in Humble, TX (Northeast Houston) and about to complete the remodel by end of September.

We have one that the auction closes in 24 hours.Please let me know if I can assist with more details. 

They are going to market that property through an agency or auction.
