And, if you get into a highest and best situation, the person who wins always most likely over paid for the house.

Tell her to show up at certain date/time and that if she doesn't you will return her deposit and find another tenant.Show her you are the boss, you make the rules or she should find another property.She will fall in line or part ways, either way you win.

If you are trying to not have your property in your own name, for liability reasons or other, you might consider a land trust, and make the trustee whoever you would like (your business name, or a hired trustee).You need to educate yourself on the ramifications of having everything in one spot (like a business name), where you instantly have assets.  

You start a battle & to win the battle you need to evict them, which means you lost the battle because now you have an eviction cost, lost rent, turnover cost & new leasing cost.

Keys to picking a winning tax deed and or lien.

See what their cash price is and if you can get it to them for 50% of that you can keep anything else and everyone wins.  

Have confidence in what your doing and try to create win-win situation for all the parties involved.

You have caught it by the handle, preventing a disaster and winning a long term JV partner in the end!

For all of these reasons, we felt confident that if we could get it for the right price, it would be worth the risk to bid without seeing the inside.We've been outbid on 3 properties in the last 3 weeks, so we didn't go in with very high hopes of winning.

It seems to me that if you work really hard and do your best that it could be a win-win for many.Thanks!
