If not abandoned, you can file an ejectment lawsuit against the taxpayer (who will also have to pay your legal fees if it redeems.   

It'll take much longer if they don't have a lease and thats called an ejection which can take upwards of a year.

Hello All,Just to bring some closure on this note and keep you all posted, please see below: Summary of situation:- Borrower not making payments- Prior noteholder filed a complaint for ejectment - We purchased the loan and property from prior noteholder- Default judgment was awarded to prior noteholder and loan boarded to my portfolio as REO - Homeowner was cooperating with me and changing moving out date for over a month- Looks like he was buying time until Homeowner's lawyer filed a Motion to set aside the default judgementResolution as of today:- I accepted to fight it in court- His lawyer reached out to us on Monday- I offered Cash for keys (500$) with a deadline to approve by today and moving out by EOD Friday (Aug 11th) or the deal is off the table- Signed CFK agreement was sent today- Realtor is going to meet Homeowner tomorrow at 4 pm for the keys- I've instructed lawyer to list it for a quick sell asap (Property is in a great condition in Downtown Gadsden, AL)It was a bit rocky but when you look at the 5000 ft. view.

The TENANT files an ejectment (more costly and time consuming than an eviction) to remove the unauthorized occupants.

Why are you in a career that is so soul-sucking that you want to hit the eject button? 

If their junk is still on the yard wouldn't you need to file for an ejection/eviction?

I KNOW I probably hit the ‘eject button’ early on these places.  

IE a JV deal.. and they take title in the name of that LLC.the benefit to them is if you fail according to the operating agreement in the LLC they can just eject you from the LLC and not have to foreclose.. now in principal i personally see nothing wrong with that set up as a lender. but its not the perception that most that reply to their no money down lending program are aware of .. and or since most are beginners it could be a little overwhelming or complicated for the borrower to fully comprehend.. with a borrower just thinking hey if it closes great were do i sign.

After an investor bought it on auction.com, his choices were to offer cash for keys or to file for ejectment which takes 6-12 months.

I'd be happy to sell it back to the owner, but assuming one wanted to go so far as to file an ejectment (which I probably don't), I assume you can't eject someone from half of a house, or 1/5 of a business, or split it up like that terrific I Love Lucy episode.
