Can I get my cash back after the auction purchase?

There’s a process called delayed financing which allows you to apply for a mortgage once you take ownership of the property. Usually, homeowners must wait 6 months before undertaking a refinance, but homeowners who purchased with cash can apply for what is essentially a first mortgage right away.Our colleagues at Rocket Mortgage® offer delayed financing options.

Are there loans available to help you to buy a house at auction without cash?

Possibly. There are “hard cash” or “hard money” loans available, but these are high interest loans with short repayment terms. They are not suitable for anyone except experienced house flippers , whose intent it is to fix up the house as quickly as possible and resell it quickly.However, real estate transactions are conducted pursuant to state law, and some states do allow bidders time to complete the transaction with a mortgage. Check your state’s laws as well as the rules available on the auction platform you intend to use.

Why are houses up for auction so cheap?
