@Michael Watts you're correct in that you should just have to pay $10 for the tax deed. 

As far as quieting title goes, most attorneys I know recommend having 3 years of exclusive possession with a tax deed before quieting title.

It really depends on what part. I like some SFR in the area. If the price is right, I'm sure multi-family section 8 could be good.

Whom is interested in purchasing notes and mortgages in Alabama? It is very likely that these would become non-performing. Feel free to message me if this is something that you are interested in.

Best,

+1 @Denise Evans she is an expert in Alabama. Erica you asked the same question in another post. I recommended you contact attorney @Gregory Stanley to help you work through this as this sounds like a complicated situation for a beginner.

Erica,

This is a complex situation for a beginner. I would contact attorney @Gregory Stanley at Stanley and Associates in Birmingham/Irondale, AL. He is an expert on tax liens, and clearing/quieting title in Alabama. His fees are reasonable. He will explain the process and you will learn.

@Shirea Carroll most folks mail a certified letter and also post the notice on the property and take a picture of the notice with the property in the background. I like tax deeds because you can file for ejectment immediately without. In my experience ejectment usually results in settling with the delinquent tax payer. Most of the time I don't get the property.

Hi @Shirea Carroll. I wholesale tax liens frequently in Alabama, and keep several as buy and holds. To answer your question, you do not have to wait another 6 months to file ejectment. You can file ejectment 6 months after the delinquent tax payer has been given proper notice. You will probably want to get proof from the wholesaler as to when and how the notice went out.

I would have attorney @Gregory Stanley handle your escrow. He is with Stanley and Associates. You can search and find them on Facebook. I believe he usually charges $250.00 for escrow. He will verify that the wholesaler has an interest to sell you. Greg is an investor himself and is also an expert on any issues that may arise out of tax sales. I have several tax deeds for sale if you are interested.
