When that investor went inside to view the property, I had to make a decision on whether to get in a bidding contest there, and chose to reiterate to the owner that I could provide a Wells Fargo bank statement with funds necessary to purchase the property (not fictitious) and that I would give a call back in the morning.

An eviction very well may be contested and your state probably requires an attorney (or similar credentials) to conduct a foreclosure.

The way I see it is if the property taxes are so high to keep from getting ahead with your rental it doesn't pay much to keep it or look at that area to buy.We had a inner city 6 plex,, our taxes jumped from 5400 a year to 6800 ... on a 6 unit building this was after we had contested the tax hike that's 133.00 per apt per year or 95.00 bucks a month just for taxes.per unit.. we contested the increase hired a appraiser had a meet and look at with the city appraiser.. it knocked it down for a while but went right back up a year later.. 

Does anyone know how you can find out the address of the plaintiff or address of the contested property in a landlord tenant complaint?

(Like they were going to win a contest for how many people they can stuff in a car).

If he doesn't, I may have to honor the lease, instead of paying the legal fees involved to contest it.

I have never had a tenant contest what  we charge against Security Deposits, but most of our units come back in good shape as we screen well and are fair about SD deductions.

.- use the attorney at title and add it to the HUD-1We use a clause in the note that waives the right to defend a foreclosure in default, so the property returns to the seller without contest (varies from state to state I imagine)We also pay the sellers closing costsAll of this stuff is negotiable...you can always push things with these...like lower the down payment and have the buyer pay all your clients fees and your commission, etc.Give me a shout if you want to chat more about this topic.

If you want to try to contest it, give it a shot.

Could be 90 days, but with no contest, it shouldn’t take very long.
