There is nothing like my favorite account - Miscellaneous.Ask them if they have a month end procedure.

Three of which have pased and I am in contract with the two surviving sistersEscrow informed me that the deed that was originally drawn up incorrectly as "tenants in common" versus joint tenancy which resulted in them having to go through the probate process.After further research, I found that since I was purchasing the property for 100k that we would be able to expedite the process using probate procedure 13200.There was then yet another delay and I come to find out that the seller had an issue with funds to pay the attorney.

george, while i have invested heavily in tax liens i have not foreclosed myself. however i have some general knowledge. u r gonna want to hire or consider hiring a real estate attorney. he or she should have knowledge about the specific foreclosure procedures in ur state. im from nj so itll be different here versus ur state. id estimate itd cost u 1-5k to foreclose. this is bc u might have to file a quiet title action. this will remove anybody elses claim against the property except for you. eveything else is like a normal deal. leave enough money to pay for carrying costs, repairs, taxes, and marketing. u shoukd decide now what ur exit strategy will be so u can jump in if u end up foreclosing. hope this helps.

Each and every county has different procedures.

@Brian Ploszay How smooth is the procedure for getting S8 tenants?

I do believe that you'll need to follow specific procedures to put tenant on notice of their default and then there may be a cure period by law according to these new executive orders, so you'll want to check with such orders in your city and county to make sure you follow these.

The biggest takeaway that I found is that you need to start implementing policies and procedures into your business now to make these types of (unavoidable) situations easier to deal with in the future.

And if you have  lease, then, you have to evict and go through the eviction procedures.  

@Nathan Miller Thanks for reminding me about the standard application procedures.
