Based on what I've read, after the auction, the property owner has 3 years to reclaim the property before the winning bidder can take possession.

I'll be launching a ten day notice after the first for her to remove her possessions, which I believe she will abandon.

Just remember that the auction only conveys title not possession so you need to price in eviction or paying the occupant to move out.

At that point, the tenant has possessed the unit for five years.

They do not allow collectibles like artwork or cars, but houses for sure are qualified.

These are professional tenants and now they have possession of your home for who knows how long while you spend thousands of dollars trying to get them out with lost rental income.4.

If the property is in Michigan it's a 7-day Notice "Demand for Possession - Nonpayment of Rent" I believe.

Your biggest concern is getting possession back and getting the relatives to take or waive rights to the belongings so you don't have to store it.

If its not included in the judgement, I'd be hesitant to deduct them.btw: If  the eviction was simply a 30 day notice to terminate the lease because you wanted a new tenant and not for failure to pay, then you likely only have a judgement of possession.

Also, how do I go about raising rents up to market value after taking possession (if I choose to buy it)?
