County Clerk suggested that once I retake possession of the property, that it is could be difficult to get a settlement for any future unpaid rents through the end of the lease term, which is through July 2024.

When youre in housing court you should also ask for a money judgement in conjunction with possession to the property.

TAX CERTS are a bizzness not something you do as a passive investor or someone like me who is busy with their core business.. thankfully it was only 30k All that and the SC Hennepin Decision last year now causing states to re-write their laws so that if an investor does somehow end up converting a lien to a deed, that investor may be liable to tax defaulter for the difference between the lien and market value of the property, Tax Liens seem to be VERY MUCH a place where only the big money, interest investors can make it worthwhile.Fortunately, Texas has "immediate" possession Tax Deeds so we keep our focus there.

It depends on the terms and conditions of your application (hopefully you presented a formal offer to lease that provided for forfeiture of deposit if the tenant failed to take possession).

Writ of possession and this is done by the sheriff for us, another week.   

Are you saying you will actually need to possess the 20% difference in cash to bring to the first mortgage closing?

. :-)  Usually the beneficiary interest is transferred vs selling to end buyer.I still do not like this method - but with the DOS issue, it may be a necessity.One of my concerns with transferring the beneficial interest to the end buyer is if the end buyer stops paying..How hard would it be to regain possession of the property as opposed to simply transferring the deed in the new buyer’s name and doing a standard wrap? 

This happens when one spouse divests the other party’s interest in the property.Adverse possession.

State law says you have to let the unit sit for 60 days before you can clear it out if no one comes to claim the tenant's possessions.  

If the tenant still has possession of the property, an eviction lawsuit must be filed by the landlord.
