So, I will share my opinion and leave it for other, more tenured investors, correct me.This is my understanding: your goal is to get the property at such price and location that it would make sense for investor (your buyer) to purchase from you and do whatever they want to do with it.

Pros:Potential for Bargains: Auctions can offer properties at lower prices than traditional listings.Speed: The auction process is usually quicker than traditional sales, with a defined timeline for closing.Transparency: The bidding process is transparent, and you can see competing bids in real-time.Cons:As-Is Condition: Properties are often sold "as-is," meaning no repairs or warranties.Limited Inspection: There may be limited opportunities to inspect the property before bidding.Financing Challenges: Securing financing for auction properties can be more challenging and may require quick approval.Auction Fees: Be aware of any additional fees, such as a buyer's premium, that could affect the total cost.I hope this helps you out!
