It is not uncommon for auctions like this one to get rescheduled multiple times before ever actually making it to the courthouse steps. 

Every time, there is new little things, especially in the financing process.

Do they pay within 5 days of the first of the month (in some states that is not late)? 

Traditional lenders won’t approve it, and hard money lenders who offer this type of financing all the time look for experience, assets, or strong equity in the deal.Partnering with someone who has financing or experience is realistic approach when starting.

Generally speaking, with SFR or small multis, I just rely on the lease/rent roll (and some form of proof of payment; i.e. bank statements, deposit receipts, tax returns, etc.). 

I would try and manage it yourself if you have the time and effort.
