Eviction cost and time

[Jason Varney]

Hi all,

I know this is probably more of a question tailored to my local market so if anyone knows the answer as is applies to Jacksonville, FL then great! But generally speaking, how long does the eviction process take and whats a good range in cost for it to happen as well?

Trying to make a deal for a decent rental but its an ugly situation because there are tenants in there that havent paid the out of town landlord in over 2 years. They even give him pushback when he called a year ago asking for rent and reported him to the Better Business Bureau saying he was harrassing them. He inherited the property from a friend who passed away. He's basically willing to give it to me for back taxes owed (10K) to be rid of the frustration. It would rent for about $600 which would make for a good deal even if it needed a decent amount of work (havent been able to see the inside yet).

Any advice for me here? Also, answers to the inital questions would be greatly appreciated as well. Thanks!
