Buying from Foreclosure Auction

[Amir Saeed]

I have attended few foreclosure auctions where a bank is foreclosing the property. Basically the person is biding against others and the bank.

Question I have is that if there is a lien against the property (specifically mortgage) I have been told that all of them will be wiped out in the Auction since the bank has to provide a clean title. Is this true. Pls assist.

Thanks
