An auction is a process of buying and selling goods or services by offering them up for bid, taking bids, and then selling the item to the higest bidder. In economic theory, an auction may refer to any mechanism or set of trading rules for exchange. There are several variations on the basic auction form, including time limits, minimum or maximum limits on bid prices, and special rules for determining the winning bidder(s) and sale price(s). Participants in an auction may or may not know the identities or actions of other participants. Depending on the auction, bidders may participate in person or remotely through a variety of means, including telephone and the internet. The seller usually pays a commission to the auctioneer or auction company based on a percentage of the final sale price. From Wikipedia under the

Q. I saw this informercial about buying houses in government tax sales/auctions, but how do you find them.

You can also talk to your county Sheriff and they can tell you when and where the tax sales take place as well as the foreclosure auctions. A word of caution, despite what the infomercials say, tax sales are not a good place for the beginning investor. The tax sale process is a difficult one and the properties are redeemed most of the time. That means you go through the entire process and in return you usually get your initial investment plus a small amount of interest - often 8%.
