First Timer - To Buy Bank Owned or Auction
Looking for homes in and around Phoenix, Arizona. Prices are high in this area and I think I will have better luck finding a cash flowing property with foreclosure homes. Many homes are going to auction however and so I'm wondering if auctions are a useful/common place to find well priced homes or if I should stick to bank owned properties that have a set asking price. I am looking for my first rental property at this time, very new to the world of real estate investing. Thank you in advance for any help!

Buying at auction typically requires all cash and offers no opportunity to get in the property prior to owning it. Its a gamble. For your first property I would want to have a chance to inspect it. For that I would stick to REO properties to start.
