Title searches before buying property at a sheriff's sale

[James Brookins]

I'm going to attend my first Sheriff's sale (Philadelphia, PA) next week. If you've purchased a property from a Sheriff's sale, did you do a basic judgement and lien search before bidding on the property?  

If not, did you run into any problems after the purchase?

Either way, did you have any issues getting title insurance within 30 days of the purchase?

ALWAYS do a title search, they are a necessity and very enlightening.
