@Ron Mill          When you record your deed you pay the taxes owed and recording costs.

The attorney just has not recorded it and has not disbursed the funds.

They have lots of these type properties on the records in AL.  

Make sure you use a realtor for help screening your tenants.

Due to the age of some rentals, other items to consider is concrete driveways / walkways, septic and sewer (if property is on well/septic), landscaping, entry doors / screen doors (my tenants like to ding them up moving stuff in/out, so replacement is about every 5 years or so.

I don't believe they have recorded an audible version yet.

Boom, you just spend 15 grand easy.Now a tenant moves out and the kitchen cabinets doors are falling off, the cabinets are rotted and the horrible yellow vinyl flooring screens 70's + 40 years of abuse and cigarette stains, and the kitchen cabinets are rotted under the sink and the counter needs to be replaced anyway.

Screen Shots would helpAlso what script do you use when the owner calls you back?

The investors we support typically are buying 3/2 or 2/2 block homes with no pool (for liability reasons).These are HUD houses, and usually only need a light to medium rehab.In the area you described, the rental market is strong, just make sure you have a good screening process.

Because in California,  nobody can record a "notice for pendency of action" in a quiet title case unless they have the judge first approve it.
