Look up adverse possession in your state. 

Hopefully you will get a Judge that will see thrunthe bs and award you possession. 

When you understand the roots of the right, you understand that judicial redemption rights never come into existence if the investor takes possession fairly quickly after gaining the tax certificate.

The owners of the property are looking forward to re-possessing the property on December 1.

I like to have an appraisal done as soon as I take possession to set that base value.

Another reason we insist on vacant possession.

I know you will need to show three years of continuous possession to burn the three year redemption period but I am unsure if this would break the continuous possession.

I suggest you return to your 1, 5, and 10 year goals; unless you don't possess them, then do that first.

For you to do this as an “investor” you would need to take possession or guarantee the lease.

Or since they still have possessions in the property you will file an eviction .
