I just heard this ad on the radio. There's a $1,000,000 starting at 219,000 and about 10 other houses that are starting at $500. I always thought I couldn't afford a house. But at that price....
Since they don't have any in a frum area, I was thinking maybe it's worth buying as an investment. Rent it out for $1000/month & rake in the cash.
But DH says that he heard they throw on all kinds of crazy fees.
Anyone know anything about this? Advantages/Disadvantages to buying at an auction?
Thanks.

I know some of the houses do look like they'd need a full makeover. But some of them look quite decent to say the least.

You can't buy a house without a lawyer of record. Who are you using? Ask him to get an idea of the costs up front.

I bought my house at a forclosure auction. This is how it worked. you got to view the houses before the auction, bring an inspector if you want... then by the auction you had to have a $10K bank check. then it worked like an auction everyone bidded. then you had to get a mortgage, title,co and close wtihin 30 days. also the bank was able to say if they agreed to the price.
cm - there was no lawyer involved.

arent there sometimes debts that come along with the houses, that transfer over to the new homeowner once purchased?

it depeneds if you want to be part of the auction you get a copy of the contract. our contract said that any and all outstanding debt will not be transfered over. you have to read the contract.....
