from what i know it usually takes about 6 weeks for the entire process, if you file for eviction you can usually get the home back, these situations are hard, more often then not the homeowner doesnt know their homes were ever put into auction and lose their homes, but usually with talking to the previous homeowner and proving you are the rightful owner you can get the home back, or at least negotiate them to leave cash for keys , if that doesnt work then file for eviction or notice to quit. 

How did you all start in real estate?

It pays to start learning how to use these systems, so you can conduct your own eviction searches and local criminal checks before run national checks on people.

the starting out forum is probably the best place for the question.You don't mention your current situation, but house hacking your first investment should be high on the list.  

If the value goes way up in 5 years you lose.

Living in Los Angeles, looking to start house hacking and putting the high rent toward building equity.

They could have a guide for how to start/run meetups for areas that don't already have one.

I am also building in the area, Have completed 12 builds this year. and just started 7 more.

Congrats on getting started Stella!
