Idaho foreclosure auction on courthouse steps

[Henley H.]

I am looking at a property scheduled for auction, however, the prospect of paying all cash without title insurance for a property I have not been inside is daunting...

Is there anyway to approach the borrower or lender in advance of the auction with an offer?  I found the house on an auction website rather than in the local paper.

Is it possible to pay a title company for a report prior to auction and have them offer a guarantee of insurance coverage if you are the high bidder at auction?

Thanks in advance for any insights on the process!
