Getting keys/ access to tax deed sale property
I am new to tax deed sales and was wondering; how do you physically get the keys or access to the property once you win the auction, pay all payments to the county, and receive the tax deed in the mail? Do you generally have to get a locksmith to make you keys to the house? then place the keys in a combination lockbox on the door like a realtor would do? I do have friends or family in the areas I am looking to purchase in, as I am planning on doing this from out of state. Any knowledge or advice on this subject is greatly appreciated.
