Jon Beechham owner at JB construcion in Seattle is the man you want to talk to for Bremerton area remodeling.

This will vary by state but in MD you file for a "Writ of Possession" However you probably can't do that until any redemption period is over. 

If your greatest concern is a potential downturn, you've already performed the wisest hedge - buying properties in high-demand locations.  ...and if/when things go south, you have a few levers besides price to keep your properties performing:Providing quality finishes to set you units apart (which you may be doing already, based on your remodel comment).  

I just started the process of doing a total remodel/gutting on it and was wondering if anyone had suggestions on how I could go about getting financed for the amount to complete the project now vs doing it in small chunks as I can afford it. 

I have gone through the entire process up until the filing of the Writ of Restitution and having the sheriff contact them to vacate.

In Alabama we have to go to the county tax accessor office to file or change homestead exemptions.

Hello,I have a 2650 square foot, two-story home (4 bedrooms/two bath) that needs a complete remodel and upgrade, inside and out, plus a new patio cover.

I've also used public-record.com for code violations and divorces, i've gone to the county court house to get probate files (which many include the administrators phone number) and also list source for out of state owners and pre-foreclosure lists.  

If the seller wants to file a claim for brokering without a license, the only thing that will matter is what the state determines.

I'm not particularly concerned with the ability to rent it out, or would be an easy rental to fill as one of the units was recently remodeled but never rented.
