I am sure that Auction.com is getting paid for their service and that is why they add them to their marketing @Wayne Brooks, it is just another stream of revenue for auction.com leveraging the existing platform that they have already built.I have also seen houses lately hit auction.com barely two months past the sheriff sale (now as REOs), but they are pre mls and auction.com does not charge a buyers fee (no co-broker involved), I have bid on a number of those (usually tracked by me from the pre foreclosure stage), but never overpay so someone always outbids me lately on these open platform auction sites.Good Luck to you!!!

Any experience or recommendations on staging your fix & flip property?

I had to have 20% of my own money into each loan.. so with out 30 million of loans we had roughly 6 million in cash to marry to it.. has to be equity not loans... from investors.. at least that was our arrangement  and many HML has the same thing.. although in 08 I think 90% of those facilities got called I know all but one of mine did.

This is important it is already its third stage.

One of my buyers has purchased several homes--I think he has been happy with the arrangements.

It's not what I would do at this stage in my investing but I understand why she does it.  

Decorate, stage, design?

Are you in the early stages of building an empire where you want to save capitol? 

My first two deals I found, negotiated, found bank financing, arranged/monitored rehab, and still manage myself (with by brother and sister as full business/equitypartners).
