Sometimes you are better off making the offer through a third party, lawyer or agent, you want to be arms length to be safe.Try to inspect the property before bidding, sometimes the mortgagor (owner) will damage the property just to get even with the mortgagee (lender), like removing all the dry wall, pouring cement down the commode, blocking the vent line (from the roof) with a tennis ball (keeps toilet from working right), short circuiting the electrical system, over flowing the sinks....etc.Be aware you are paying interest from the date of the sale until settlement, if it take the bank 6 months to ready this property for transfer, it could cost you thousands of dollars.Be very careful............ it is easy to make a mistake......look at the property, talk to owner, talk to trustee and auctioneer, read the contract before bidding.2) How do I prepare for the auction?

Alex Ballas Plaster on Brick - Remove plaster or keep and frame with drywall
10 May 2016 | 10 replies
Though it's really unnecessary to build a stud wall.If your masonry wall is only a single wythe of brick, then applying closed cell spray foam to the back of the wall could prevent it from drying properly, eventually leading to spalling of the outer brick surface as it absorbs water (there are ways to mitigate this, but you will want to bring in someone with experience).
