Purchasing a property with an eviction in process

[Greg George]

I am the buying agent representing an investor who wishes to purchase a SFR in DeKalb County, GA with an eviction of a tenant with an expired lease in process. There should be no problem with the judge issuing a writ of possession to evict the tenant, however, COVID precautions have continuously delayed court sessions. Is it possible for the investor to purchases the property before the eviction is resolved and if so would the eviction process have to start over?
