They're paid up to January 2014 and the property is scheduled to go to auction in late July.  

I'm not a newbie to buying at the local sheriff's auctions here in Milwaukee, I've bought probably 15 houses at our sheriff's auction and I know the ropes pretty well but its been a while since I've dealt with this particular issue and need some advice. 

Some of the properties that were listed on homepath, and realtor.com as bank owned have now been scheduled for auction.

Foreclosure auctions are looking a bit promising though.

I am eyeing wayne counties upcoming tax auction.

This happened to a fellow investor in Tampa several years ago.We talked about it & we told him to approach the Bank & offer to stay put, rent free paying the utilities etc to keep the home in good condition for re-sale.Given the all break-ins etc that were occurring with vacant homes they agreed.We have done that here in NY with properties we have taken back or taken possession of from auctions.

I was chatting with a guy at the courthouse steps auction.

The bank hasn't foreclosed until after the auction.

thinking of buying property through the court house auction but I want to know if I am still held liable for any outstanding liens (2nd mortgage , contractors....etc) after I have the winning bid

My sister (who is a seasoned investor in CA) and I have started bidding on auctions here and are currently waiting to hear from the bank on a REO.
