Foreclosure
After you have created your new business entity and secured financing you are ready to start shopping? When you are purchasing property for real estate investment you can acquire property through different means. A real estate investor can purchase property at the local tax auction, at foreclosure sale, for sale by owner, and through a licensed real estate agent. Acquiring property through a local tax auction often requires legal action after the sale to properly transfer ownership of the property to the new legal entity. A well experienced real estate attorney will be able to assist an investor with this process and ensure that the appropriate legal steps are taken to secure ownership. Buying property through tax auction or by foreclosure can also present unique problems. Sometimes, after a tax auction sale or foreclosure, the residents refuse to move out of the property. What does an investor do then? A well-experienced real estate attorney will be able to assist you with removing the squatters on your property by filing a lawsuit called an Unlawful Detainer.
