it is better to find an agent familiar with auction to help you

It will cause you $5000 to $10,000. In return, he will be able to do title and background search on the property. he will do the bidding and help to start the eviction process after the auction. Do not expect to get a great deal. Other people will bid the property to its flipping market value. If you are not careful, you will bet too much without realizing all the potential issues and costs. Good Luck.
