If you don't win, the hold is automatically released after the auction within 2 business days.If you are the highest bidder, you will sign the purchase contract, wire your earnest money, and provide proof of funds (bank statement with account numbers "X"d out is fine).

If you want to bring value to someone in desperate need of selling a house: I would suggest showing them proof of your ability to purchase, and close on their house, opposed to wasting their time by getting the house under contract, and failing to pawn off the contract to an investor.I would suggest paying all the closing costs for them.
