Good to know before you bid

• Properties are sold as-is, and the Sheriff isn't responsible for a clear title. source
• Buyers at mortgage foreclosure sales pay a $250 Demolition and Rehabilitation Fee. source
• The second-place bidder can register right after the sale to take the property if the winner defaults, if their bid was within $5,000 of the winning bid. source
