Should I file the eviction notice on the 6th?

Then file your "Notice of Petition to Administer Estate"..Mark (N-CA)

You may want to pay an attorney once, but really it gets you nothing to pay for each additional transaction.You can get free mortgages/deeds of trust by downloading from county clerks websites, but then you have to type them up.Since the promissory note is private, you’ll never get that from a public filing.It is legal for you be your own attorney and "alter" the docs by removing or altering the names, address and parts of the legal description of the former note, deed and deed of trust.Perhaps the most crucial thing to get correct is the deed to make sure you have a good legal description.That is easily obtained by getting a copy of the deed that was filed for the current owner, just change names.Since the loan is a friendly loan, in my case essentially from myself, if there are minor items that are not perfect in the note or deed of trust it really is not important since I am essentially lending to myself.

@Chris Viglietta  If the property has an NOD filed and you're buying as an investor, make sure you follow all the requirements and use the correct contract to make your offer - the Notice of Default Purchase Agreement.  

Properties have past due tax liens that can file for tax deed foreclosure.

keep in mind my friends. not all properties that are in a sad state of affairs will work out this way. some banks just simply take their time getting things back out onto the market. each house is a different deal. the banks blame the courts for the mess, the courts blame the banks. some banks will never drop their properties simply because they have money invested in them. the two houses i have bought like this were pretty close together in time, as well as location. but i have been struggling to find another one since. it has been about 2 years since i have bought one like this. i have found one recently that i would love to get my hands on. i have even found the old owner, but i cannot get the guy to budge on selling it even though i know he doesn't want it. some people get really skittish with things like this. the one house i bought, it took me over 6 months to talk the guy into selling it to me. patience is the key here. if the bank has already placed their name on as the owner, legally, with the local authority, chances are they are not going to drop it. even if they forgave the mortgage, they still own it. you have to find one that is behind in taxes and still has the original owners name on it as owner. then look for a release of lien from the bank. the bank may not file this with the local authority. you have to get the bank to admit that they have dropped it from their books. thats hard to do sometimes. i am working on one right now that i am sure the bank has dropped it, but they will not admit it to me. it has been sold from one bank to another, to another, and so on. i literally have a paper from the court showing that one bank sold it to another, but i cannot get bank #2 to tell me that they own it. they claim to be just the trustee. bank #2 filed the starter paperwork for foreclosure over 3 years ago, and have done nothing since. 3 years of back taxes on the place, no one takes care of it and even their lawyer told me that the case is closed. but the bank won't tell me that they dropped it. patience and persistance works here guys. i will get it, and so will you. just keep working at it

One, how aggressive you are about serving the pay or quit notices and get the eviction filed, versus riding it out to see what happens.
