Can we finance an auction with FHA 203k?

Hello, I need some advice here! I found this property on auction.com and I am interested on buying it. Is in a great area and has a great location we are planning on buying it, repair it and live there for over a year we also want to rent 3 of the rooms which I think we can rent each room for $600 to $700. My question is can we finance an auction? I want to use an FHA 203k loan and how does it work because it says the bidding starts at $225 000 does that mean I have to request to my lender $225 000 plus expenses for the rehab? Or do I have to request more?

Thank you!

    You typically can't buy with a 203k loan at auction.  They want full payment in like 10 days, email them and ask how quickly full payment is due.  A 203k loan takes like 30-60 days to close.  You could do hard money if this is going to be investment property

    I am a little bit scared of hard money because of the high interest rate 馃槬 what if I can't re finance my loan quickly? I will have to pay a lot of money in interest. Do you know of hard money loans required a down payment?
