Financing for auction purchased homes?

Most auctions require you to pay for your purchase within 1 to 3 days.. There are no conforming lending programs out there that will allow you to purchase an auction property and close that quickly. You will need to use private (Hard) money and then do a refinance after.. Most private money loans have really bad terms.. high interest rates and fees, and short repayment terms.. but the biggest thing is that you will need a large down payment.. typically 30% or more. There is no way to get 100% financing on an auction property unless this is something you've done a hundred times with the same lender.. then it's possible, but otherwise, expect 30% or more down payment.

Mr. Acres provides an excellent answer. You can search for private money lenders in your region. It is common for many contractors who plan to work on a property they purchase to initially get a hard money or private money loan. The profits realized after all the work more than compensate for the added cost of the loan so they could get the property. For you it becomes a more difficult question perhaps since you plan to live there, correct? Anyway, if 30% down payment is an obstacle than that may eliminate this as possibility for you.
