First, WELCOME TO ACTIVERAIN!!!  In today's market, an auction will probably bring more investors and less homeowners!  These outside investors are looking for the "bottom line" more money in their pocket.  Unfortunately, the homeowners lose out and isn't this how the U.S. got into this mess.  Greed and instant gratification....
