Cool thanks again. Yes any gov't lien is superior for wich this property has none :). Auction is a few days away so chances are it is going to be redeemed but its been a fun research project.

Longwood is north of Orlando (~half way to Daytona on i-4).

Thanks Kyle and Sherry.

Eviction was really what I was refering too. I.e. do I have to evict someone that doesn't reside there (assuming they don't have a rentor at the time). In other words, do they need to give me the keys to the place or by not giving me the keys they are "refusing my demand for possession".

Sherry, based on my research a mortgage is an inferior lean and not transferable to the tax deed holder. Only superior leins transfer.

I am new to tax deed investing and am researching a non homesteaded condo that was used as a furnished rental and not the permanent residence of the owner. Wondering if I was to successfully acquire the deed what I would need to do to take possession? I.e. do I need to ask the previous owners nicely for the key or am I entitled immediate entry (drill out the lock, new locks etc..).

per 197.562 it sounds like I can access the property immediately..
