Off-the-rack advice might work, but it does more harm than good often enough that I no longer engage in it.Absent any other information I would be planning for you to need money for another 30+ years.

In NE Florida, jax, all auctions have gone online, 5% down, 95% rest is due noon the next business day, via cashiers check, bag of cash maybe..the big boy players store their 100% full cash with the court account already....ive also heard local escrow account will wire that morning too, which makes sense, .......Im interested in auctions, but until i am 100% all my own cash, i feel it is almost impossible to get a hard money lender to move 95% of the cash by noon the next day...no way.... to me, you can pretty much rule out using hard money all together to fund online auctions...they don't seem to go together.. it is 100% liquid own cash or private money ready to wire from escrow..

Do you have any suggestions for where to find the specifics on those requirements besides engaging with BDS about a specific address, which is how they seem to prefer interacting?

That could be a great way to find and stay engaged with local investors, realtors and opportunities. http://www.biggerpockets.com/alertsYou can also search for other investors or brokers in your market and follow their journey on Bigger Pockets here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/search/usersAnd of course, be sure to subscribe to the podcast - so much great info there and always full of inspiration.

You might consider engaging an attorney to draft a "Mutual Agreement to Terminate Lease" or something to that effect that is valid in your state.A simple 1-2 page agreement outlining that 1) she has surrendered or abandoned the premises, 2) you have her permission to dispose of her personal property, 3) and you have her permission to liquidate her deposit for past due rent, can save you tons of potential legal headaches down the road, and would likely be far less expensive and time consuming than an eviction.Forget trying to collect on the remaining months of the existing lease.

I am new to actively engaging the site.

Engage often and contribute wherever you can...and I'm sure you'll find this is an extremely helpful resource in your RE journey!

(Zach got engaged recently everyone!)

It's all about supply and demand and how much the seller values what the buyer's agent brings to the table.In the event where the company found you, engaged with you, then at the last minute you wanted to being in your own agent it's doubtful they would value what the agent is bringing to the table very much as they have for the most part already procured the sale.
