Advice on auction purchases

[Casey Tyler]

Good morning BP peeps,

I am looking for my first property after the first of the year. The market I am in is pretty heated so I want to look at all options for acquiring deals. Once option is auctions such as auction.com. My problem is auctions seem to have different rules for different states so it is difficult to find information. Can anyone point me in the right direction to acquire information on the auction process in Michigan and the best way to protect myself?
