Why do you keep soliciting for business in this forum? Other realtors are not that crude and brash. I do not believe it is allowed.

In all seriousness airics, is this the auction you are referring to?

http://ushomeauction.com/auction_details.php?chkVenue (broken link)

I have a colleague out of CA that went to one of these. Most of the properties that were halfway decent were bid up to market at a minimum. He eventually bought a couple of MLS REO's which he got a great deal on and is cash flow positive on both.

That one seems much more bidder friendly than the one I posted. I believe that the US Home Auction requires a cash deposit to even walk through the door, so Hudson and Marshall is already a step ahead of them on that. They both charge a buyer's premium fee and I believe that they are equal amounts. If you have the cash for the winning bid deposit and are extremely confident in your ability to obtain financing (unless you are paying cash of course) then you should be fine and will likely have a great time, unless of course you don't get a winning bid!

Default Pass the grain of salt

Checked out a couple earlier in the year. Discovered that virtually all were subject to a "reserve".

That of course means the auction is simply a bid to the lender which can be taken or left as the lender sees fit. I see no reason why this is a better formant than just making a deal with the lender.

Note that I recognize some of the properties. They are effectively the dogs left after everything salable has gone.
