If you don't have a current rental registration you cannot get an eviction judgement. 

Or they could have kept up on things like rent, but been overwhelmed with medical bills, split things from a divorce, lawsuit judgement, etc. 

Hello Landlords and Investors,Would any of you know of any attorneys that deal with the Metro Detroit Area that can see an eviction through to the point where I get the judgement in court for the tenant to move out?  

Now they may sue you personally, but a Motion for Summary Judgement or Motion to Strike is usually enough to end it. 

In some cases with professional administration you also have access to much deeper vetting of the sponsor that will include personal background checks covering things like bankruptcy, judgements, litigation, criminal history, and other red flags related to a sponsor that you would want to avoid.If that is not available, another approach is to talk to investors who have had an experience with the sponsor already.

Either way, either through judgement (lien theory) or contractual oblication (deed theory), the borrower will owe the difference between the amount owed + accrued interest + attorney's fees + late fees + other costs and the balance received from the sale to the lender as something called a "Deficiency Balance".

HI BP, I am a newbie interested in investing at sheriff sales, and I have went to a few in my area, Somerset County, NJ to see what happens.  3 questions- 1- Can someone help me understand the difference between judgement amount posted in the paper and then the total judgement amount announced by the sheriff, and then the total amount the banks rep says they will bid up to. 

They are legally obligated and may want to avoid a judgement on their record.

Indiana is a weird state though you can't take a tenant to eviction and get the judgement for nonpayment of rent or damages while in eviction court...

I am not sure what it takes, but it seems the bad judgement that landed you with Morris is keeping you there.
