In July 2021 Sheriff's sale is expected to occur where the GC would take possession of property that is currently vacant.Ask by the GC: Come in as lender to finance the Rehab.Current Price = $ 180,000.00, Rehab = $ 50,000.00,ARV =  $ 320,000.00 My initial thoughts are as follows:Go into a JV or partnership with the GC get 25 % equity into the deal, finance the Rehab as a lender from SOLO 401k.

You are the owner, you have a deed, you have control and possession -- although it is subject to the right of redemption.Good Luck!

Once you have a writ of possession (my terminology may be wrong it might be a warrant of restitution) it should only be three  days or so to get a sheriff out.

Only seller can issue because it has to be done prior to close and you do not have possession of the property yet.

Does anyone know the particulars around taking possession of a vacant house or condo once in possession of the tax certificate in Alabama.

@Christopher Artis, once you have a tax deed from the state and have had exclusive possession of the property for three years, you can file a quiet title lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Mobile County.

We reserve the right to refuse payment after expiration of our demand for rent or possession.

I now have possession of the property and evicted previous owners.

@Brian PowellWow, so many great replies: yes get insurance point, out that it doesn’t cover the tenants possessions have them get renters insurance.Insurance is a must!

This is mostly because they know that they are going to have to ask people to part with their hard-earned money, their most valuable possession of survival.
