 I'm confused, before she passed she knew property had been sold in tax sale and did not redeem thus a deed was issued. Now children can claim after death they didn't know? Only came forth because ejectment notice was left at door. 

 Does it matter if the deed was issued before owner passed? There was no estate to notify, the owner knew home had been sold in tax sale. 

Hi BP, I'm seeking opinions not legal advice on how to proceed:

I purchases a tax lien and had a deed issued in 2022. In 2023 I filed an ejectment suit. I named 2 previous owners in the ejectment suit. I was notified by the courts that one owner was deceased. I was recently contacted by relatives stating the last owner is also deceased which happened recently within the last 90 days. So both previous owners named in suit are deceased. 

This is the current issue before me: 

Relatives are now claiming the home belongs to them and have had an attorney reach out to me stating they will be filing something in probate court concerning the will but nothing has come about that in the last 30 days. Ejecment suit filed in 4/2023. Attorney contacted me a week later saying they would redeem home and mentioned he would file in probate but has not filed anything yet. 

A deed has been issued to me. 

What are my options? Home was deliquient on taxes since 2017. I purchased the tax lien in 2019. Received deed in 2022. Filed ejectment in 2023. Previous owner died in 2023. No attempts by any relatives to redeem at all. 

Previous owner lived in home up until death, now children are basically saying home belongs to them. 

I will answer as many questions as I can. Tax sale is not considered void. 

Any advice to use VA benefit to buy a multi-family home?

I have both my pre-approval letter and my COE.

I came across 4 individual homes on 2 parcels of land.

All 4 homes are occupied generating about $2500 monthly in income.

Can anyone one tell me what to expect as a first time homebuyer attempting a multi-family purchase using VA?

@John Underwood thank you! I will just hold the certificate and wait I guess. Thought about making some repairs but with about 5 remaindermen listed I first want to find out who is still living! Thanks!

Has anyone on this forum purchased a tax lien that is listed as part of a life estate? What was the outcome? Is there any specific advice you can give on how to handle this?

Purchased OTC from state of Alabama. Records listed through county land records shows property is party of life estate with some remaindermen.

Property taxes have not been paid since 2016.

Good evening BP,

I have been having some awesome luck in quotes I’m receiving from the state.

Finally!

Is there anyone who would not mind sending me an example of a possession notice I can send out?

I have 4 occupied properties and I want to start out on the right foot with the notice and informing them of their rights as far as redemption.

You can inbox on here or post in the comments.

Just need a little help.

What’s the best way to go about connecting with investors who may be interested in purchasing tax liens that I don’t need at the moment like vacant lots and commercial properties?

I’m fairly new and am receiving quotes on great properties but they are not within my budget so I would love effective ways and suggestions to pass the opportunity on to other investors.

Good morning active BP friends,

So I received some quotes finally! I’m about 60 days into learning how this works....

One quote in particular is priced more than my budget but I think is a great investment.

How would I go about possible giving someone else the opportunity to get this property?

I wanted it but the quote blows my entire budget to purchase!

Add your email and I will send you the information if interested!

Good morning active BP family,

Located in Alabama

I’m about 60 days into learning tax liens and I have hit a wall...

I received price quotes back on some properties but the quotes were well outside my budget to purchase at the moment.

What can I do or do you know of anyone you can suggest who might be interested in these quotes while I have them?

As you know, we have about 20 days to send payment and I feel this one particular property is so worth having and holding for future use but it would wipe out my budget for just this one alone!!!

What do you do in this situation?

If you are interested in the property drop your email and I will send you the information so you can view it.
