LESSEE/TENANT'S POSSESSIONS.

If they possess the property after the expiration of the lease, in most states you can evict just seeking possession of the property with no monetary judgment sought 

Sent text this past Sunday reminding them of the court date the next day and giving 12 hour notice to enter apartment in the morning to see if they were still there.Went to the apartment in the morning, no tenant, but all possessions were still there.Went to court, tenant didn't show.Got the judgement, got a writ, went to the mover for the letter, gave all the paperwork to the Sheriff.Informed tenant, politely encouraged them to move before the Sheriff and movers get there. (7-10 days).

2nd question first--you might want to have the abandoned church property re-assessed as not being tax exempt.  1st question-You can take possession as soon as you get the tax deed.

Once you take possession, a quick run-through if there is anything you want to keep and trash the rest.

If there are problems with the existing boundary lines, and the neighbors are encroaching on this property, then this will give the neighbors all of the right in the world to file a legal claim for adverse possession.

Meaning as soon as i take possession, list the property for rent while the work is being performed.The major downside of using a 203K loan for rehab is that you cannot do any of the work yourself as you must submit invoices.

Hey @Drew Bursey,Prices in Ottawa have been creaping up to levels of madness recently, I closed on my second property 2 weeks ago and before even taking possession the value went up 30k.

I would ask for more information about 'possession of a firearm" . 

Says in the past they have filed a court appeal to return my money to me and preserve the title for him.First question:  Do I have possession by virtue of the payment and receipt and court action?
