What you purchase depends on whether are you in it for the interest or to own property ? Most people in this industry are looking for the interest therefore they choose good properties with mortgages on them which are not likely to go to foreclosure. On the other hand if you want to own property, make sure there is NO mortgage, or it is abandoned or is vacant land or in the inner cities where chances of redemption
are very low.
I bought a property via a tax lien certificate recently. The redemption period has passed and I will be acquiring title in a couple of weeks. This particular property happens to be in good condition and the owner is still living there. Can anyone tell me the best way to go about removing this person from the premises? I need to know legally what needs to be done and how I might get this done with the least amount of potential damage that might be caused.

I just recently started investing in tax liens. I’m currently working on a strategy.
Do you think that it’s better to start out with current liens, build cash through payoff, then, when funds are available, purchase one near redemption period end and foreclose OR start off with properties that are near redemption period end?

The best way to do with the least damage is bribe the people out. Offer to pay for their moving expense, etc. This could be faster and saving you more money than to go to an attorney and have to go through the whole eviction process. Unless the owners are not willing to move, then contact your attorney asap!!
