Hi,
I would like to bid on a home near me pretty soon at a foreclosure auction, but I am very confused about liens. If I bid $50,000 for the house and win who could I possibly owe money to besides just paying the guy at the courthouse? If the current owner has a mortgage would I owe anything on that? If he has IRS taxes? Or does the auction wipe out all of that?
