Possession after aquiring a Florida Tax Deed

[Bob Jones]

I am new to tax deed investing and am researching a non homesteaded condo that was used as a furnished rental and not the permanent residence of the owner. Wondering if I was to successfully acquire the deed what I would need to do to take possession? I.e. do I need to ask the previous owners nicely for the key or am I entitled immediate entry (drill out the lock, new locks etc..).

per 197.562 it sounds like I can access the property immediately..
