Hi all,

Has anyone ever hired a property management company just to manage mobile homes (not in a park, but on individual pieces of land)? Anything I should be looking out for, asking, etc.? I have a company that does this for my SFHs, but they don't do mobile homes, which is why I'm asking.

Thanks!

@John Underwood Thanks! I will try this out with one of my properties and see how it goes. Any advice you can give regarding tracking down/approaching the parties? I have the title searches already of course, if that helps. 

Thanks again!

Thanks John. How would it work if the property had some sort of lien on it? Mortgage release instead of QCD?

That makes sense, but in my case, I would eventually like to use the equity in the properties to purchase more of them. From my research, the only way that can happen is if I can get title insurance, which means either a quiet title, or using something such as Tax Title Services.

@Kiet N. Interesting. Can you provide the attorney's contact info here (or pm if that's not allowed here)? Thanks!

@John Underwood In Georgia, we have to pay those taxes as soon as the auction is over and any taxes that come up during that 1 year redemption period. I'll definitely look into it though. Thanks! 

Hello all,

If you purchase a tax deed in Georgia, is there anyway to get around the 1 year redemption period (assuming that the owner doesn't redeem)? For example, having the owner Quit Claim Deed the property to you?

Thank you!

George

@Roman M. thanks! This is what I thought as well. (Minus the 2 years part). Guess I'll go with the QT.

@John Underwood how hard was it to get the previous owners to agree to a QCD? Another side question, could you do this before the redemption period is up (assuming there is one for where you did/are doing business in) instead of waiting that year (or however much time) before you could legally take ownership of the property? 

Hello all,

Does anyone have any experience in (or knowledge) of the difference between a quiet title action and using Tax Title Services (or a similar service)? 

From what I can tell, Tax Title Services is partnered with a few law firms/title search companies across the nation and basically "vouches" for all of the paperwork of your property (which you acquired via a tax sale/lien) being good to go. From there, the title company (the one partnered up with Tax Title Services will issue you title insurance).  

Is quiet title basically the same thing (except done via a legal process), but would allow you to get title insurance from all title companies (minus the speed from the above method?

Thanks!

George
