Its January and I set some goals to do more deals in 2016 than I did in 2015 in New York and Georgia. So I did more networking and more yellow letters over the Christmas holidays. I found a great deal in Nassau and I was so EXCITED. Until I found there is a squatter in the house. The laws in New York are not like Georgia. The squatter has more rights, NOW, my question is who in the community has dealt with this issue in New York?
I am actually about to sign a contract on a 6 family in Brooklyn that has squatters, from what I've heard you have to file an eviction, but it's easier than evicting a tenant. Just make sure they were never tenants.
Hi @Wendy Lovejoy maybe you should try an pay them off to leave but make sure you get them in a cab an change the locks as soon as possible an maybe save yourself some headechs because the police wont be much help ive seen it happened here in Brooklyn.best of luck to you.
Chaim F I have a couple of 6 families in Brooklyn as well. They were never tenants but act like they own the place. I had an attorney tell me we need to evict them just went through that in Valley Stream it took almost as long as a tenant eviction in New York. Its a lot faster in Georgia
We only buy in Nassau County and Valley stream is one of our biggest areas. The courts here are VERY fair and it should not take longer than 90 days to get a tenant out. We have evicted MANY tenants and squatters. Feel free to contact me if you want to discuss it further.
I d lot of wholesaling in the Clayton and the Gwinnett areas but I have to admit I will go as where the deals are.
Right now I have a few deals in West End Jonesboro and Snellville. I also buy nd hold. Sometimes the motivated sellers I have end up giving me their other properties like I just closed a deal in Jonesboro and the seller referred his cousin in Thomaston and had another property pretty close to Savannah he wanted me to wholesale,
What is you focus I would love to see how we can make it win win connection
