@Jon Blackburn In Florida once they surrender keys they no longer have possession.

Let them know that the persons occupying the house are not authorized to be there, they are not in possession of a lease issued by you as the owner or any agent of yours, and that you believe fraud and other illegal activities are occurring there.

Turns out that the county had taken possession of it it for delinquent taxes, but, according to the county minutes, did not know what to do with it because 1) it's zoned R3 residential, two family and 2) it's in poor condition.We live in a smaller county, population being only about 71,000, so I'm not dealing with an extremely busy county treasurer or clerk like in a large metropolitan area.

If the contractor has bad credit and no money, he likely does not possess great management skills either, although this is not necessarily true.I do think that giving a contractor a slice of the deal is a great way to motivate them to work hard on your project.

Ok Ryan, I'm going to be blunt here, but you need to step away from wholesaling as quickly as possible until you learn the basics of real estate, financing, and business in general.Let me ask you, do you think the seller is in possession of the title, or the lender that is in control of his VA loan?

File for possession.

They pay good interest and in some cases you can take possession of the property.

We would like to set a kind of promissory note situation wherein I take possession of the property with rights to refinance or resale once renovations are complete.

Once the tenants move out, we will take back possession and self manage. 

If you take possession of the money, your 1031 is dead.If you don't follow all the rules and meet all the deadlines, your 1031 is dead.A QI will help you every step of the way because they've been there before.
