Occupied after Foreclosure

[Randy Rought]

I took possession of a foreclosure property today in Colorado Springs (El Paso county). The place was not empty, but appears deserted. The water and electric is off and the fridge still has food in it... uugggh. There was a couple of old couches, twin bed, some older electronics and power tools left in the place. The neighbor stated she had not seen anyone for quite a while. I talked to the civil division at the county sheriff and they said to put a 3-day notice on the place, and the next step is to go through the eviction process (even with no one living there. Has anyone been through this same issue? Any comments or suggestions?
