I recently had a lender experience where a certain lender had the best rate but were not able to deliver on their promises and burned everyone in the process.

Your deposit will be forfeited instantly and you’ll never see those funds again, regardless of how the auction terms/contract was signed. 

Or they buy the materials and you can reimburse them once they are delivered to your property. 

You can ask the current owner to deliver the unit vacant.

Typically less experienced sponsors have more investor-favored fees/splits because of the higher operational risk (inexperience) and then have more sponsor-favorable terms as they accumulate a track record of delivering (and over-delivering) returns. 

Like @Larry Turowski said sometimes people take a decade to become an "Instant Success" But a serious question for you, "Why do you want to scale quickly?"

Turns out that for $350.00 we could have a dumpster delivered, we told the tenants that was their chance to do the spring cleaning of their “treasures “.

@Heather TurneyDeal Machine and other software like PropStream allow you to instantly find out all sorts of property data on specific properties.

Many OOS investors set themselves up for failure because they don't truly take the time to understand:1) The Class of the NEIGHBORHOOD they are buying in - which is relative to the overall area.2) The Class of the PROPERTY they are buying - which is relative to the overall area.3) The Class of the TENANT POOL the Neighborhood & Property will attract - which is relative to the overall area.4) The Class of the CONTRACTORS that will work on their Property, given the Neighborhood location - which is relative to the overall area.5) The Class of the PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES (PMC) that will manage their Property, given the Neighborhood location and the Tenants it will attract - which is relative to the overall area.6) That a Class X NEIGHBORHOOD will have mostly Class X PROPERTIES, which will only attract Class X TENANTS, CONTRACTORS AND PMCs and deliver Class X RESULTS.7) That OOS property Class rankings are often different than the Class ranking of the local market they live.8) Class A is relatively easy to manage, can even be DIY remote managed from another state.

Preferably if they would deliver to my job site if possible.
