Odds are the multiple offer bid submission time is over. 

I suppose maybe NACA is an OK option if you're willing to wait 6 months to get through even the basic paperwork submission (and a ream of increasingly obscene documentation requirements), but I'm frankly surprised that they close any mortgages with the pace of their process and representatives' poor communication.

The most recent subprime lender to hit me up for business had right on their little submission worksheet "how much do you want to pay yourself?"

I am new to bigger pockets and this is my first submission.

See Line 6a and 6b on the bid submission form which has the seller paid commissions.

So, are there no HUD forms needed for submission to the program?

After speaking to the local director for the office that handles the properties, I was told about the bid submission, assessment and approval process and was told that if I submitted an offer and the SOS sent an acceptance letter, the property would be titled in the county records and I would be the owner. 

How much earnest money or deposit is required for the bid submission?

The listing agent will know all the submission requirements.

After all, they probably get 200 deal submissions per week, which I've heard him say, and with that many deals coming in, what's the chance that he's going to pick YOURS to personally work.
