Have you heard about all the foreclosure auctions that are ongoing these days?

These are auctions that are conducted in the final stages of a foreclosure, with the bank hoping to liquidate the property and recover its losses.   Generally this is referred to as “selling on the court house steps”.  Like any auction, you get a lot of people together, some sophisticated some not, get everybody excited with a good auctioneer, and let the bidding begin.

As these first began in a few areas of the country, you could get some AWESOME deals.  Of course as the news spread and the crowds crew, the banks saw a great opportunity to really get top dollar for their foreclosures.

What this means to you, the real estate investor, is that you really have to know your value BEFORE you go to the auction.  It is to be determined if the auctions will remain a viable strategy for foreclosure investors.
