What should I know before bidding on Maryland government real estate?

Government auctions typically require registration and may have inspection periods before bidding closes. Properties are often sold as-is without warranties, so inspecting the property or hiring a professional inspector beforehand is important. Bidders should also understand local zoning laws, any liens or back taxes, and financing requirements. Starting with properties that allow preview access helps you evaluate condition and make informed bids.
