Small condo on auction

[T Pointer]

I am going to a sheriff auction for the first time to attempt to purchase a 1 BR condo. 

They are small but create cash flow. 

@ 17k or less at market value. 

I have the cash but want to take out a personal loan or business loan to help build my business credit. 

I do not like using liquid cash I prefer credit. 

Any suggestions for other investors that have purchased at auctions ?
