I am new to this game as an investor. 

Susan - The short answer is normally the liens are wiped out by the tax sale, and subsequent quiet title lawsuit. 

@Mark Normandin my start into this game could take a while but here is the watered down version. 

you really don't provide much info but in a nutshell it is possible to structure a contract for tenants to stay or not. all depends on the end game which you never mentioned.

Also, keep in mind, it's a numbers game, so can't expect to get something going with 1, or a few prospects.When I started targeting this niche, I was compiling 80-100 leads on fire damaged properties in NYC every month.

I remember a lesson from my good friend while playing my favorite strategy game "Go" years ago.

-Going along with the above, they are more likely to leave in the night if things go sideways because they have no skin in the game.

Hi BP family,Does anyone have advice or any recommendations on a reliable, investor-friendly title company in the Pensacola, FL Area?

@Nate Stitchell it is more of an "order of operation" game than anything.

In the end, I'm the main point of contact for the tenants, regardless of my title, and they're going to call me whatever they want.
