Probate and Sheriff Sales

[Sam S.]

Most recently, I started researching the Sheriff Sale auction. After conducting my due diligence, I found that some of these properties which were vacant were in probate court. Michigan has a 6 month redemption period if occupied or 1 month if vacant.

What are your personal thoughts with investing in this strategy?
Since the property is vacant and the judge awards me a judgement to take possession am I able to start the rehab process?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
