@Denise Evans That was the answer I was afraid of, but I'm glad you took the time to clearly lay out the process. I'll follow up after they are removed regarding what I did so it can help other investors in the future. Thanks again Denise

There are occupants on 2 residential properties I'm negotiating to purchase that I want to remove. Property number one is a holdover tenant from the previous owner with 8 months left on their rental agreement. The person renting to this occupant was never legal authorized to rent to them. The house had been foreclosed on several years previously and the bank just never took completed the steps to take it back. The second property is similar in that the occupants are essentially squatting they neither have a lease or any rental agreement. I'm purchasing it from a law firm that was the holding entity during a lawsuit several years ago. How would I have both occupants removed from these properties? They are in Birmingham Alabama. Any useful advice from someone that has dealt with these sort of cases will be greatly appreciated.

Great Investor Special. This is a tax deed property in an area of Woodlawn with lots of potential. Great rent potential. Please, see below for property information facts.

I have a property that I am interested in purchasing the lien against. However the owner died in February 2017 and it was sold by the state in May 2017. Does that automatically mean the sale of the lien is void? What would I need to find out to decide if the lien would be valid?

Selling a tax lien/deed is simple in my state. You can make up your own bill of sale & the county has a very simple transfer of assignment form to have the lien/deed assessed in the new owners name. No title company or lawyer needed. You pay $5 at the tax redemption counter to have the transfer notarized and they assess it that day. Takes no longer than 5 mins.

Right now I only sell tax liens/deeds to other investors. I am kinda cautious of selling liens/deeds to laymen as they tend to forget or not understand our state redemption laws. I also do not sell them anywhere close to what the property is worth. I couldn't see someone buying a tax lien/deed property close to what comps show without a clear title. If I wanted to sell it for a fair market value I would have to wait out the redemption period and quite the title.

Anastasia, do you have a copy of that form you could PM me. I've looked on the county site and could not find a transfer of assignment form.

Thanks
