- That's why the property is sold at auction to the highest bidder on the
- courthouse steps. Forclosure specialists attend these and have cash or
- lines of credit available. The bank normally bids what it is owed, and if
- no one bids higher they get the property. If there is significant real
- equity, the bank is unlikely to be the high bidder.
