When buying a foreclosed home in Staten Island the buyer pays the Transfer Taxes, which is approximately 2%. In addition you will buy the home in an As Is condition without warranties. If you buy at auction you need to pay 10% cashiers check within minutes. Many foreclosed homes are already listed in MLS, so seek out a local Realtor.
