The tenants are aware of what I doing and they are cooperating with me in this process.

If agent is not cooperating get another agent.

If the tenant is cooperative and agrees to a move-out plan, have them sign for you a legal Notice to Vacate with a specified date.

You can go to the CO to help get cooperation.

@Mark Ferguson, who I tried to meet several times but our calendars would never cooperate. 

For me, it redirects to:Jefferson County Library Cooperative, Alabamaandhttps://vulcan.bham.lib.al.us/It requires login information before you can see anything.Just based on the fact its a site for Jefferson County, AL, I'd guess this is the tax assessors site.

Either way, you'll need th cooperation of the owner if she is in title.

Hey John Trout - I ran across this video a couple of years ago that explains one of the ideas behind this technique (buying an LLC instead of the property itself):http://youtu.be/0sjLNIEsKKk (he gets into it at approx 3:00)In this case, he's talking about using this technique as more of a substitute for assigning a contract (this comes in handy when lenders get involved and refuse to cooperate with an assignment).For the scenario you're talking about (if the property is already owned) I suppose you could use this same process to save on recording/closing costs and transfer taxes (because there is no new deed being recorded).

But you already have the 'momentum' of having an apparently cooperative set of town officials on your side in terms of creating residential rental spaces.

The latter could also be accomplished with an MLS feed or cooperation from another real estate site, but that's where the technical undertaking is beyond me.
