Won my first auction! When can I take possession?
I won my first auction on Friday afternoon. I still have to go through the process of getting the trustee the final payment before 5pm on Monday, recording the deed, etc.
My question is, when can I take possession? I ran by the property and it looks vacant. Also, do I bring a locksmith with me to open the place up? Thanks for your answers!
