Lending help for buying at Auction

[Jonathan Johnson]

Hello all,

I'm interested in buying from a county courthouse auction and I'm trying to plan ahead with financing. 

Is using private money a good strategy for acquiring a property at auction?

Are there Hard money options or strategies to consider? 

I'm probably looking at a small rehab project.

I have a 125k house that zillow says is 150k so maybe I could a HELOC for a small amount.

Any help or thoughts are greatly appreciated!
