| | | Bidding on a home in forclosure sale
What is the name of your state? SC
I am interested in bidding on a home that is going up for auction. What steps do I need to take? Will a bank lend money to purchase a home with plenty of equity after the first mortgage is paid off? |

You need to do a LOT of research, title searches, inspections, etc.
Get some knowledge.... before you fall into the trap.

I was awarded the home in the divoce decree; but the ex stopped paying on some high balanced credit cards as well as maxed out a second mortgage, which was a line of credit and so there are judgments, etc. on the home now. I was unaware of all of his doings until it was too late. The mortgages were not in my name; but my ex had put the deed in my name afterwards. It's a MESS! Long story short, I went to the forclosure hearing today with the lender who holds the first mortgage and they said that since I did not sign the loan, they are not going to come after me with a deficiency judgment and they told me that this will not affect my credit -- just his. They also told me that I could bid on the home; but, frankly, I am not sure if I should simply cut my losses and start over.
Thanks again for your help. I'll continue to research, indeed. |

| | | If you have a good amount of equity, you are in a better position than anyone to bid for the property. |

Most people we help out in this scenario do hard-money financing for the auction and then talk to the bank when the house is theirs afterwards. |

**A: no one else can bid on the equity since no one else owns the equity. |
