Squatters | Utilities | Security System

Patrick Goswitz
Posted

I am closing on a house and family member of the owner is living there, who has no lease, or should be in the house once I close. I have a feeling that person is not going to leave. Do I have to turn on the utilities once I buy the home? I don't see why I would for the squatter but I want to make sure they don't have some way of coming after me in court.

Also what is a good security system people use for flips?
