Not sure what kind of auction you are attending like a court house step one, estate or online, but maybe I can give a little help by what I have done. 

Hi im taking a online real estate course.My question is for other real estate agents, do i need to know and remember everything thats in the course to becone a good agent, i feel as long as i have sales skill,ill be good selling a house and showing it to potential buyers and negotiating.

Before we decided to buy, I did a lot of research online about homes within our budget, and then we drove around those areas. 

The forms are fairly simple and can be done online (scanned/mailed).

Using marketing online (which isn't even all that expensive) you can gain easy traction into turning those leads into flips or wholesale deals.

- Are they able to be online during the hours you would like them to be?

Had a VP of a local bank that does these loans and he said he would go online and look at reservations on the vacation rentals.  

I can afford a sizable down payment on a home and have a great credit score.The reviews online are mostly negative with a few positive mixed in.

And I'm doing it all online, no cold calling, no driving for dollars, no bandit signs and so on.

Almost all the jurisdictions in the area have online forms to help estimate permitting costs.
