Alabama: Has anyone opted to obtain property via the NRP (Neighborhood Rehab Program)  vs Tax Lien sales in Mobile Cty. 
After perusing the guidelines for NRP the 2 benefits I gather (my opinion) 
1. You can submit price almost near $1.00 (contingent they accept your price) 

2. the county will expedite the Quiet Title action on your behalf.

Other than that You have a set time limit to complete the rehab and you have to show financial capabilities and experience that you can complete the rehab and provide purpose of rehabbing geared towards low-income housing. 
I guess it can eliminate some tax sales hoops but the houses are very much war-wounded... hence the $1.00 price offer. 

Tax sale properties are full of sweat equity 

Just wondering if anyone has completed a rehab through the program... would like feedback on the experience. Thanks!

@Denise Evans I think I got my answer to the long post I just addressed to you re: doing work before an ejectment judgement when the prop is occupied either by owner or tenant. 
You clearly stated you cannot start doing work... my bad on the oversight. 

 @Denise Evans following up on your comment re: someone living on the property... it is still unclear to me on the timing or process to make preservation improvements before the redemption. 

scenario: send notice to vacate upon issued tax certificate and wait 6 months for response before filing ejectment. Can I make preservation improvements during the 6 month waiting period and if so how do you go about it where it is not disruptive to the owner or tenant... Given these improvements are ‘physical’ /labor intense improvements? 
or do you wait until after the 6 month waiting period to get a judgement from the ejectment suit and then have free will to make improvements... whether they are physical or simply paying weed liens, or termite treatments? 

I’m thinking the 6 month waiting period can give taxpayer time to redeem if my goal is to increase the redemption fees via pres. improvements Or waiting 6 months to make an improvement might allow/cause damage to fester. 

@Denise Evans thanks for the feedback. I sent the doc to your email. 

I received my ‘1st’ price quote for a certificate on a property in Mobile Cty (AL) and after checking probate for pre-lim Title clouds, there is a hospital lien on the owner and it does not state it’s a claim against all properties of the owner.  Can someone share advice how to interpret the lien to understand if it’s against the property and if I should pursue the prop. The hospital lien amt is $5999. 
the prop is in good condition based on my exterior view (can’t get inside of course) and it looks actively lived in (Power is active). 
I called the county and no attempted redemption in progress. The area is a rental intense area. If the $5k lien will cause more trouble than necessary I can pass. advice to moving forward on the prop is appreciated . 

@Anastasia Jordan hey AJ! Did you ever come across a  list of considered preservation improvements (objective or subjective) or is the list only considered reasonably subjective based on the situation/property. 

@Michael Meeks great story! I hope you got some advice and made some forward progress since your initial post... pls share any updates. 

@Joshua Ferrari do you know of any major city plans for 36603/04. I searched online and nothing comes up. I think the area can use a major overhaul and I would love to invest in the overhaul ... a few houses at a time 😊

 @Adrian G: do you buy /sell lots  outside of the location listed on your name? AL,GA?

@Lamario Hopson did you ever get the link requested from your 11 mon post and are you in a similar situation as the OP? Would like to hear your outcome if possible. I am in line for a few tax deeds and certs and I’m building a knowledge bank of past experiences to clear ‘clouds’ before I move forward and also making connections in AL. 

@Randall Townley how did your QT turn out if you pursued it... did you go the in personam route? Also would like know if you satisfied the requirement/actions to bypass the judicial redemption period based on taking possession? 
thanks in advance for the response!
