Depends on the laws in your state. Some states require a foreclosure and some only require eviction.
Did you have the buyer sign over a quit claim deed quit claiming their interest back to you in the event they default? In states where you can evict you would record the quit claim deed with the buyer quit claiming their interest back to you and then you would just file for eviction after serving all the required notices.
Each state has specific laws that must be followed. You need to check the laws in your state and follow their proper procedures. Get an attorney to look over your contracts and have him/her handle it for you. Especially when you’ve never done it before. It would cheaper in the long run than screwing things up attempting this on your own!
