My very first flip I bought at an auction on the court house steps when i lived in NY. It was an owner occupied townhouse that the guy stopped paying on and that there was some tax liens on as well. Anyway i bought it, closed on it, and went to the property after the closing to have it rekeyed. Only problem was the guy that stopped paying on it was still occupying it and had no clue it was sold out from under him. Next stop was my attorney who started the eviction process. 30 days later he was picking his belongings up off the front lawn when he got home from work while a sheriff and i watched.
Don't let that be you and your wife. Best of luck to you.
