Post: Buying redemption reights from taxpayer in AL?

I have a few certificates on vacant/abandoned houses and as soon as I start maintaining the grass I start getting calls requesting to buy the property. As a cert holder I don't "own" the parcel but I assume I could purchase the redemption rights assuming I could find the taxpayer. Is this a good strategy? If you have done this do you have any advice? Thank you!

How did this work out for you? Did you decide to re-assign the tax certs to anyone? 
I had a few abandoned properties with tax certificates that I wanted to keep but they got redeemed fairly quickly.

Send to me I’ll buy it — you just re-assign it to me

@Theorun Maxwell how did this turn out? Did the taxpayer redeem? Did you do any repairs during the tax certificate period or did you take the advise of Matthew from Maryland speaking on AL taxes.  I’m curious as to the outcome!!

@Denise Evans thanks for your response. Re: the 20 yr tax deed- I think it’s safe to say the owner was bluffing to redeem the property based on a few conversations and quite interesting they eventually offered to sell the lot. I declined the lot and the deed and sought a lot directly across the street. Interesting story on new lot is that it’s a tax certificate and the heirs told me I could have it and will sign a quitclaim deed Asap. Far less expensive too... $800 vs $3k.

@Herndon Davis @Bryan Hartlen since you get placed in queue once you submit an online application in AL, better to save your $$ on title search unless you go through the county’s (almost free) online services but submitting an application online is no guarantee you will receive a price quote.  altogether if you are applicant #n+1 - good luck spending money all to never even receive a price quote. You have 21 days to pay the state “if” you get a price quote — take action then.

Hi All! I am getting ready to attend my first judicial tax deed sale in Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania. I want to protect myself and form an LLC in case I run into legal issues with the former homeowners of any properties I may close on.

My questions are:

1. Is forming an LLC in this case justified?

2. For those of you who have LLCs, what's the proper LLC to form to protect myself on all sides?

Would love to hear back from those of you have formed LLCs, have auction experience, etc. Horror stories welcomed! ;)

Sharing some advice outside of your questions...

1. If you are able to re-assign the tax deed to your LLC once formed you may opt to Do that while you get your feet in the door to acquire your tax deed. Essentially don't let the ambiguity of the LLC hold you up from moving forward with the tax sale.

There is a lot info on forming LLC's and even S-Corps for investing, taxes, and personal asset protection .

@David Connolly I thought so too (3 yr possession to QT w/a tax deed.  ) I’m going to follow this post by Denise and her opinion as there’s a lot of confusion on the tax deed. I’ll report back how it went.

I have the answer regarding the Ejectment legal fee payment on a tax deed from research... I’m good there.  I’m concerned about RE-assessing a Lower tax amount to redeem. Tks!
