| a sheriff's deed give the purchaser the legal right to the prope |  |
but it does not guarantee that it conveys any title. It only conveys whatever interest the debtor may own in the property, thus it does not guarantee a clean marketable title either.
You would need to check your state laws to determine what title is conveyed by a sheriff's deed, mostly you can go thru a title company with title search for any outstanding lien, then back it with title insurance.
in short, you better know what you doing before you jump the gun...
