The 3 year redemption clock does not start until the day you buy the property.  There are methods to speed this up such as contacting the previous owner and negotiating with them to sign the property over immediately. 

What if it is/was being used as a boarding home (assessed as a multifamily dwelling)? 

Doors locked = not abandoned

Remain slient 

 Myself. 

I created this discussion to have a central place to discuss issues from buying and/or selling tax certificates & deeds.

I am being sued (again).  I sold a tax certificate and now the buyer is saying they didn't understand what they were buying and thought it was a clear title. Not even sure how that was even possible, as my contract clearly states everything.  A small claims suit of $5000 was filed against me.  I am not moved. I responded and am ready for battle. My legal team said the case will be dismissed.  Even if I lose I am not bothered.

I also bought a deed to a nice 3 bedroom house.  Move in ready. 5 days before I got my deed it caught fire. I now own a burnt house.   I am actively trying to recoup my loss.  I got a couple of interested buyers. 

Another tax certificate I got in January the previous owner still has not redeemed.  Vandals have gone in and stripped the pipes, wires, and doors.  But even in this state the house is still nice!  The previous owner told me that he didn't have the money for the back taxes, this year taxes, and wanted to know if I could take over his $40k mortgage.    Kill. Me. Now.   I gave him until October the 1st to handle this and if he doesn't I will be filing an ejectment suit. 

UPDATE: Me & the lawyer I sold it too are being sued by the original owner, lol.  

The lawyer I sold it too is filing a motion to have the case against me dismissed since I quit-claimed it to him.  I'm still showing up to court just to be nosey.  Much entertainment.........

Does anyone in GA resell their tax deed. Im in need of some land ASAP.

Update: court didn't even last 30mins. The judge pushed it back to 8/6 because the previous owner's lawyer questioned the validity of it being in an urban renewal zone. The judge said we have to subpoena an official from the city to attest to this fact.  We could not just use the MAP put out by the city. And some how the court date has now been moved to 11/29.  

First you need to eject the squatter.
