Foreclosure auctions winner has to pay with cash within couple of days?
Question:
Answer:
usually, yes, you must pay with a few days. conventional (soft money)financing takes 4-6 weeks, so having the money on hand makes for a fast close, which is what the auction wants. but, there are exceptions to the rules. there's not a ton of people out there that have that kind of money just laying around, so the "rich" usually have a line of credit or a hard money loan in play.
not cash, cashiers checks. and yes only rich people buy forclosures. they are sold on the steps of a court house or some location stated in the legal notice. no loans, no cash, not a regular purchase. Only for rich people.
That is a big misconception from people wanting to buy a foreclosure they watch too many flip shows on tv. A REAL foreclosed home can only be bought with funds that you have or are available too from someone who has the cash. Conventional financing wont work like the above has already stated. Now if you buy a home from a realtor that was "foreclosed" your not buying it in the foreclosed state someone else has bought it bank, real estate agent,investor etc... and selling it.
