Sheriff Sales across the US and Canada.

Prepare for the auction by phoning ahead. Make certain that the sale hasn't been postponed. Determine the requirements for purchasing properties. How much deposit is needed? When is the balance due? What type of payment is required? Attend the auction. Arrive early. Properties are sold very quickly, sometimes within minutes. Pay attention. Register yourself as a bidder if necessary.

Listen carefully for your target property to be announced. Observe the bidders. Know your competition. Do not announce your intentions to anyone there. Never bid more than your pre-determined amount.

The successful bidder will receive a deed, the type of which depends on who is conducting the sale and state law. Record your new deed and obtain title insurance as soon as possible.

Remember to research properties and their liens thoroughly. Calculate your expenses and profit margins. If you can not inspect a property, leave your self a little extra room and some extra cash.
