Buying in court house/Sheriff sales or auctions

[Raj Kumar]

I have 2 weeks left to identify the replacement properties and finding good deals has been challenging in the last 1 month. I want to go the auctions route either acquire properties in courthouse steps/sheriff sales or companies like auction.com. Actually i was planning to go to a sheriff sale tomorrow and just struck me that i need the funds from the intermediary. Can this be done? or do I have to buy properties only in a regular sale? My Intermediary is Exeter and they are in the west coast, so won't be able to reach them until noon EST. So I am posting here to see if I can get an answer from someone before 9 AM EST.
