- Cash or cashier's check required — Most sheriff sale auctions require payment in full or a substantial deposit at the time of sale.
- Title issues are common — Liens, back taxes, and title defects may attach to foreclosed properties. Always do title research first.
- Right of redemption — In Ohio, the previous owner has the right to redeem the property within a certain period after the sale.
