How To Acquire Federal Government Foreclosed Real Estate

The federal government advertises public auctions in local and national newspapers, in trade publications, and on radio. If you decide to bid on a foreclosed property, inspect it carefully before bidding. All foreclosed property is sold as is. The Federal government uses three bid methods in their auctions: 

- Sealed bid auctions. Prospective buyers are provided an Invitation for Bid, which contains a description of the property.  Bids must be accompanied by the required deposit and received by the specified closing date. The foreclosed property is awarded to the highest bidder. 

- Public auction. The federal government uses professional auctioneers in a conventional auction. The foreclosed property is awarded to the highest bidder, who must provide a deposit in an amount advertised before the auction.

- Auction by mail. For a mail auction, the government accepts offers after an announced date until there is an acceptable bid.
