@Neil Metzger curious if you bought your first flip via wholesaler, auction, MLS or other?  

It is a criminal offense to trespass on this property"So is this a sight unseen auction?

In Mass, all foreclosures go through a public auction process, and I won't get into the details here.

I dont think they are actual investors, they mostly want homes about to be tax deed auctioned off, when I do come across a property for $5,000 its to much to repair for them.I do have some good buyers who actually buys.The others are just wasting time until they get a once in lifetime deal with a low purchase price, little repairs, and high equity it may come but not often.

Purchasing the property at HOA foreclosure auction makes you the legal title holder, and you then have a legal right to satisfy the senior lien.

I'm interested in purchasing foreclosure properties at the Bexar County San Antonio Courthouse auction on the first Tuesdays of the month.

The average auction price on a merrillville foreclosure is $62k this year.

To be honest those are hard to come by because the properties going up for auction these days in Nj are still significantly underwater.

The lender has taken ownership of this property through a foreclosure auction for the amount of $82,825.

Heres what i did, and i could have took the long way and i havent had any deals yet but ill break down my trial and error and the method i feel will work best for me.first, i searched zillow for homes that are selling for low cost, found the owners and mailed yellow letters of course-the problem with this is, a lot of these homes still have loans on them and probably bank owned already, the owner still lives there, theres already a realtor on the job, just way too many obstacles, i dont expect to get any calls from those letters but you have to start somewhere.next, i started searching on auction sites for homes that did not go up for auction yet or the auction expired-again, the problem with this is the homes are 9/10 bank owned. while some of them are foreclosures theres still extra loops to jump through.I considered buying lists of vacant homes and stuff but i am the most frugal person you will ever meet lol, its not that i cant afford to buy a list, its just that i know theres a different way and plus whoever made those list had to have someone else generating that list for them.
