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..

Hello @Michelle Ethertongreat questions and I would like to hear other peoples input on this here is what we use for managing 1700+ rental units and selling 250+ turnkey properties here in Memphis TN Finances - QuickbooksProjects - AsanaCRM - Copper and Podio (investor fuse)Contractors - PropertywareManaging properties - PropertywareWe also use google drive to store all of our pictures of properties and other info. we take a lot of pictures before during and after the sale they have come in handy so many times. 

I don't think real estate is their normal business (they may think I own a brick-and-mortar store). 

It is available here under the store tab.

If your local laws  say you must store his property, you can send him a message stating you want his release to throw away anything left.

Not exactly sure where you're at in your journey, but some things I would recommend are:Read Brandon Turner's book on Rental Property Investing https://www.biggerpockets.com/store/rental-investing-digitalRead David Greene's book on long distance investing https://www.biggerpockets.com/store/long-distance-real-estate-investing-ebookListen to the BP Real Estate podcast https://www.biggerpockets.com/podcastListen to the BP money podcast https://www.biggerpockets.com/moneyshowAttend your local REIA meetings to networkStart analyzing deals to get practice running the numbersKeep engaging on the BP forums and make connections!

@Margaret Webb go to the STORE icon on the  very top of the BP webpage , hover over it and on the far right there is "Real Estate Forms" under neath that is Lease Agreement Package the rest I am sure you can figure out (GR8 resource!) 

There are some pics here https://www.csiministorage.com/Richmond-California/94801/275I have a lot in Richmond and my brother in law is putting a container on it to store his construction equipment..

I also don't want to have to maintain a mower, edger, hoses, and other equipment or figure out where to store it.
