When buying a house at an auction how do you come up with the $$ within the 24 hours they allow?

Houses for sale at a forclosure auction, they ask for down payment immediately, the remaining with 24 hours. Where do youget the funds for that immediately?
The details are as follows: 10% of successful bid immediately at conclusion of auction, balance by noon the next business day, both by cashier’s check. Assuming I have the down payment, how do I secure the rest of the funds before the auction starts? Not enough in home equity so forget that. Any thoughts?

I have some questions about the procedures of buying auctioned home, like how to check for liens, encumbrances

What other items other than liens should be looked at, and how, and where? Looking in an ad for auction, it says “beneficiary may elect to bid less than the total amount due”, what do they mean, and who is the beneficiary? If people are still living @ the property, how does the buyer take possession of the property since the ad claimes ” the sale in an ‘as is’ condition, without covenant or warranty, regarding title, possession or encumbrances to satisfy the “indebtness secured by said Deed of Trust, advances thereunder, with interest as provided, and the unpaid principal of the Note secured by said Deed of Trust with interest thereon as provided in said Note, pluse fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the Trusts created by said Deed of Trust”? Looks like there are so many legal issues intended by this language in the ad that I like to know exactly what is involved? Also Is it O.K. to approach owners, and what should be offered?
All you title experts, lawyers, auction buyers can offer any idea’s how to buy auctions from newspaper ads? Any guidance on bidding on first or second mortgages?
Is beneficiary the Trustee? And why the lender does not bid again after the initial bidding?

where can I find Iists of government land auctions for free?

I know these lists are free but the internet is flooded with scam government auction lists sites. I think the sites that have the government auction lists are listed by state and they tell what properties are for sale and what time the auction begins, etc. Can someone help?

Buying A Home At A Tax Sale?

I have a friend that is somewhat unreliable. He says that theres a house in my neighborhood that was foreclosed on due to unpaid taxes. The amount is only 600.00. He said we could buy it for the 600.00 but couldnt do anything with it for 3 years. Every year paying property taxes on it of about 300 a year. I told him homes like that usually go up on auction. He says it went on auction and no body purchased it. So its being sold as is for this amount. The land alone is worth 20k. I have a hard time beliving him. Could he be telling the truth? How does tax sales work? Is this plausible?
