Great question...I've never heard of it, but doesn't mean it doesn't exist...following this thread

Alabama in my opinion (I'm originally from Alabama) is one of the worst due to 3 year redemption period and a new certificate being sold every year and having to wait out the 3 years and deal with 3 certificate owners.I can understand someone in AL buying there because it is where they live and they may not want to travel to one of the better states.So why would you be investing remotely in Alabama and not looking personally at what you are buying?

Consider him to be your next/only tenant when screening.It is a major newbie mistake to only consider the qualifications of a existing tenant when taking in a additional person.

Go to title company, add rehab costs to original title/HUD 4.
