Thanks for the update!  I will reach out to Alfa this week.

Hello,

No State Farm was not able to provide insurance. So far nothing has happened to the property and we should be able to get the Tax Deed in a few months!

Hello,

I have a question about what voids a sale for a tax lien certificate in Alabama. I have read that if the owner dies before the tax sale then it could be a voided sale.

I purchased a lien directly from the state (2015 tax sale), not at an auction. I did a little research and discovered that the owner died in 2013.

Thank you for the info! I hope your family is doing better. I have been reading this weekend and found so much helpful info on this website. I have been researching who the owner of the property is...it's an out of state LLC listed as the owner on the tax certificate. I am assuming that is who I should contact regarding the notice to vacate?? Can you prepare your own notice or must it be done by a lawyer?

I am going to contact State Farm tommorrow to ask about the insurance and will post an update.

Thank  you for the info. It does appear the house is vacant. We did a walk thru (the back door was broken into) and there are no furnishings or anything like that. 

Hello,

I recently purchased a tax lien certificate in Alabama (property was sold at the 2015 tax sale). The property does include a house. I had a few questions about my rights as a lien holder. I have been reading/researching online and have come across different things regarding what you can and can not do with a certificate. For example many sites and "gurus" are stating I CAN'T do anything until I get a tax deed. I am ok with waiting on the tax deed because the house is in a fairly decent neighborhood and with a little bit of rehab I do believe it will be a good investment.

I read on this site where I CAN take possession and actually rent out the property!

How do you actually take possession with a tax certificate?
