Assuming we are talking about the US the auction process will vary by state. It can also vary based on the type of process (judicial or trust deed). The key is to look for the Notice Of Default that will be filed in the public records. It can be called other things in some states. The concept is the lender puts the borrower and all others who might have a legal interest in the property with formal notice that the lender is taking action against the borrower for back payments or other defaults of the contract. The parties will have X days to get it sorted or the property will be auctions. Some RE investors will go to the courthouse or recorders office every day to get a list of the new NODs filed. Others will get the info from a title company. The auction date will be listed but there are lots of reasons why the date might change. You need to track the info or otherwise stay on top of when the property might be auctioned. Note that other investors will be trying to work a bargain with the present owner so about 1/3 of the properties that are facing a foreclosure never get to auction. The problem is settled in some fashion before an auction can be held.
