Tax Deed in Mobile, Alabama

Hello. I’ve purchased several tax deeds in Mobile, Alabama which 95% of them have been land. It’s one particular property (house) that I’m very much interested in and I just applied for the deed ( 7/23/21). The property appears to be vacant and abandoned and this has been this way I assumed for several years and most definitely the last 6 months.

My question is should I try and get in touch with the owner once I receive the deed and try to do a QC, Ejectment or should I let a sleeping dog lie. @Denise Evans I would love your input on this as well please.

Thanks

This is just general advice to everybody who has ever been involved in sports.  You know how important it was to know the other team.  Maybe you watched game tapes. Maybe you listened to your coach who made notes of games or team competitions.  Whatever, you needed as much information about the other side as you could get so you could design a strategy and so you would know what was likely to happen if something unusual came up.

Tax sale investing is the same way. The former owner, or the heirs, are the other side. Learn as much as possible about them, THEN strategize.
