Help Needed with Squatter Friends
I buy REO duplex. Orig owner says he will fight bank foreclosure. ( Totally too late for that.)
Orig owner says he wasn't properly served eviction notice because he was in jail. Therefor, I do not have the right to enter unit or change locks. My prop manager says that could be a problem. Orig owner is currently a guest of the US govt in a half way house. But, now says his girlfriend lives there .... blah blah you get the picture.
How can I prevent his friends / squatters from moving in and then I have to evict squatters ? I just see this as a giant loop.
I wouldn't mind selling to another investor but how to show unit ?
