The challenges of buying the property before the sale:The owner might be hard to locate, often the houses are vacant.Often more is owed on the property than what it is worth to an investor.There might be other liens (which a title company could determine.)But if you can find properties with the right numbers and the people willing to sell, it could work. 

You could push some equity with just a few improvements over a year or two.
