Establishing Your Maximum Bid Amount

Our 4th topic in a series of 10 about Foreclosure Auctions is Establishing Your Maximum Bid Amount. A smart investment in real estate can earn money for you. You need to know how much money you can afford to bid in order to make a reasonable investment.

Depending on the state you live in, you will either need to have the full amount of your bid, or a percentage of your bid in a cashier’s check at the time of the auction. If your finances are not liquid enough to provide that much cash, you can consider mortgaging properties you already own, or taking a loan for the amount, dependent on your financial situation.

Your maximum bid should include the full amount of the remaining mortgage, and whatever amount you think will be necessary to win the bid, yet remain within your financial ability. Keeping this maximum amount in mind may make it easier for you to bid in a prudent manner, and achieve your goal of winning the bid.
