- Get pre-qualified early. Most auctions require certified funds at contract and a fast settlement — often 30 days or less.
- Match financing to your strategy. Fix-and-flip? Consider hard money or bridge. Rentals? DSCR or conventional investor products.
- Confirm property fit. Some lenders limit condos, mixed-use, or properties needing major rehab.
- Plan for as-is purchases. Auctions sell as-is — repairs and concessions are uncommon. Underwrite for contingencies.
- Know the fees and timing. Rate, points, appraisal, draw schedules, and payoff mechanics can vary — clarify in writing.
Financing FAQs
Does Ashland Auction Group endorse a specific lender?
No. We curate contacts who have experience with auction timelines. You're free to use any lender or pay with certified funds.
Can I finance properties that need significant rehab?
Often yes, via hard money or bridge products. Terms vary by lender, property, and scope — confirm draw schedules and reserves up front.
What if I need more time to close?
Auctions are designed for speed. Some sellers may allow short extensions for a fee, but it's not guaranteed — plan financing accordingly.
Any disclosures I should know?
Auction sales are typically as-is. Review the contract, buyer's premium, required deposits, and any posted due-diligence documents before bidding.
