Most leases are designed to automatically roll month-to-month, which would require you give a minimum 30 days written notice.

Closer feels it’s a automatic lien on the property.

It is easy for an agent to set up an automatic search for you. 

Perhaps you could also try encouraging him to get setup on automatic payments too, like the kind offered through Cozy, so you don’t have to go through this every month going forward.

In a foreclosure, the amount you are owed automatically becomes your bid. 

When your 12 months is up, it automatically renews for another 12 months.

If I was to bid on the house, does the amount I bid automatically get applied to the IRS lien first because it’s the primary lien, or would I be applying those funds to the outstanding mortgage, and then be responsible for the full IRS lien?

In others, it's almost expected to have in-unit w/d (so installing them gets an automatic rent bump).

@Brooks McLean pick some criteria for what types of properties you would like to invest in and find a realtor to set you up with some automatic alerts of properties that fit your criteria when they come on the market.

@Sal Fichera, I believe that the MLSLI application will automatically make you a member of LIBOR and NAR.
