Can you pick it up for the unpaid principal or assume the debtor’s note? Or does the property have to go thru the sale?
Talking about Louisiana here. TIA

To get title to the property, it would have to go to sheriff sale. If it's a desirable property, there will be others there ready and willing to bid on it. If it's undesirable, the bank will buy it for the value of the note and then try to sell it quickly. You might be able to buy it from the bank.

No. You don't have to assume the debtor's note. After the sheriff's sale you get the property free and clear of all encumbrances. If the mortgage holder wants to protect its interest, they can bid to buy the property for the amount of the mortgage. If someone bids higher, the lien holder gets paid off the top. If you are interested in assuming the note, you would have to make a deal with the debtor and creditor before the sheriff's sale.

You can buy before the sale, at the sale, or after the sale.
