@Denise Evans Got ya! I won't fight it. Let's get work on getting this done in the 2019 legislative session.

@David Tubesing Yes, she is awesome! She is my go to person for AL Tax Deeds. @Denise Evans

@Denise Evans I just reached out to Shelley Tice in Montgomery. She told me that she's not an attorney but she have been told that this process is a negotiation between me and the original owner. I will keep you updated on what I find out.

@Denise Evans Oh no! :(

That just made me sick to my stomach. I could've sworn I read a post saying that the original owner would have to pay the original amount that was backed up and not the amount that the investor paid. I'm gong to see if I can find that exert and send it you. Either way, this was definitely a learning experience.

@John Underwood thank you for your response! I have the deed.

@Denise Evans thank you! In the certified letter that I sent him on Monday, I told him that he can continue to live in the home on a month to month basis but beginning January 1st he must have a current signed lease or vacate the home. But, starting next month (September 1st), he must send rent payment directly to me (I can send you the letter if you like).

What's confusing is this, I bought the house with a "Best Price Quote" so I didn't pay the full amount which was roughly $8,900. So, if the client chooses to redeem, he will have to pay me the $8,900, which is the original amount of the back due taxes, right?

I recently obtained possession of a property that is currently occupied. The owner reached out to me saying that he wants to keep his house. However, he hadn’t paid the taxes since 2011. 

1. What can I do? I would like collect monthly rent from him. I sent him a certified letter on yesterday advising the same. Should I go ahead and file an ejectment lawsuit?

2.  If he chooses to redeem, would he pay the money directly to the county and they mail me the payment or will he pay the money directly to me?
