Im pretty excited about taking the plunge on this one, and would love some insight about how to make it to this next level of larger complexes!

Section 34.03(a), Tax Code, is amended to read asfollows: (a) The clerk of the court shall: (1) if the amount of excess proceeds is more than $25,before the 31st day after the date the excess proceeds are receivedby the clerk, send by certified mail, return receipt requested, awritten notice to the former owner of the property, at the formerowner's last known address according to the records of the court orany other source reasonably available to the court, that: (A) states the amount of the excess proceeds; (B) informs the former owner of that owner'srights to claim the excess proceeds under Section 34.04; and (C) includes a copy or the complete text of thissection and Section 34.04; [and] (2) regardless of the amount, keep the excess proceedspaid into court as provided by Section 34.02(d) [34.02(c)] for aperiod of two years after the date of the sale unless otherwiseordered by the court; and (3)regardless of the amount, send to the attorneygeneral notice of the deposit and amount of excess proceeds if theattorney general or a state agency represented by the attorneygeneral is named as an in rem defendant in the underlying suit forseizure of the property or foreclosure of a tax lien on theproperty.

Since the court date was in two weeks I was planning on putting in the contract that the price was "contingent" on what the outcome of the suit will be.

@John Thedford My reasons for not buying it was the price, but it was also right across the street from an apartment complex which most likely produced the thief who stole all the copper pipes and wires.

My property manager, I believe, charges one application fee that can be used on any vacant property they have in their inventory, but only theirs (they manage quite a few, including several apartment complexes in addition to single family investors).  

In Alabama, individuals can represent themselves in court. 

In effect, just because you pay them on a 1099 / independent contractor basis, doesn't mean that the courts or WC commission will agree.

This clause says that if a court finds any clause in his contract to be deemed illegal or unenforceable then he rest of the lease remains legal as enforceable.

My goal in real estate is to amass several multi-family properties ranging from duplexes to apartment complexes and hopefully commercial properties but also to share my vision and goals with other like minded investors.

Due to many court rulings, if a tenant with an option to purchase chooses not to move out, it could require an eviction.
