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?

How much of a mortgage could someone netting $25K a year afford?

Interested in buying a house for the first time. The net annual income is about $25,000. Is this too low to purchase a house? I have a considerable amount of downpayment that I could put down.
There’s no cosigner. Someone is moving in also, but doesn’t work. Is a student. I’m playing on moving in the New Jersey area.
