It is important to remember this prior to considering investing in these instruments.This is incorrect advice.Please see Alabama Code Section 40-10-174  “Any purchaser of lands at a tax sale other than the state or anyone claiming under him shall be entitled to possession of said lands immediately upon receipt of certificate of sale from the tax collector”Keep in mind this does not mean that you can just go and kick the people out of there house. 

You’ll find plenty of friendly, knowledgeable people willing to respond to your posts.

I would love to speak with people that have experience in the area.If one of your friends would like to talk to me and share some advices it would be great :) 

But wanted to ask here what other people have done or if you have any ideas.

Well, this my opinion, if you like unpredictability, constant change and people/contractors with no regards to you or your property then "YES" flips and STRs are the way to go...LOL....I love it!!! 

We work with people in your shoes all the time.
