In NE Florida, jax, all auctions have gone online, 5% down, 95% rest is due noon the next business day, via cashiers check, bag of cash maybe..the big boy players store their 100% full cash with the court account already....ive also heard local escrow account will wire that morning too, which makes sense, .......Im interested in auctions, but until i am 100% all my own cash, i feel it is almost impossible to get a hard money lender to move 95% of the cash by noon the next day...no way.... to me, you can pretty much rule out using hard money all together to fund online auctions...they don't seem to go together.. it is 100% liquid own cash or private money ready to wire from escrow..

The support has been great and they seem to be planning enhancements to make it better for larger portfolios.
