Most auction /investor deal terms are all closing costs are on the buyer. 

I am not all clear on the foreclosure timeline for trustee sales that are to be auctioned on the courthouse steps.  

I would probably be more comfortable with in-state properties to start with and I have a little interest in the foreclosure auction in Brevard county.

What are the pros and cons to buying tax liens especially the ones that haven't been sold in auction.

The average purchase rate is 1-4%.Illinois uses an auction system in every county.

I am really trying to get more of a grasp on buying homes that are in auction so I can flip or rent.

So we decided to go with an auction at a court house and a hard money lender.

There's a house near where I have my current rental that has gone up for auction on Homesearch.com   The start price is low, it's already auctioned twice and finished with a hell of a deal but no reserve met, and perhaps it will this time as well.
