What is the name of your state? Michigan. I sold my house on a land contract in August 2019 they have missed one payment getting payments is like pulling teeth always late. They flooded the basement destroying furnace and hot water heater. the taxes are behind and no insurance. I sent them a notice of forfeiture giving them 15 days to fix. Now its time to file summons and complaint. How will this go in court.

the taxes are behind and no insurance.

No matter what else, I would pay taxes and insurance to protect my investment.

GraystoneManor, you apparently went to court on February 1, 2018, over a land contract sale that went bad, and had another court date scheduled for March 27, 2018. You were able to regain possession of the property from the people who were purchasing it on land contract?

You have now sold other property on land contract in August 2019, and are having the same problem with these new occupants that you had with the buyers of your commercial property?

You have also reported problems collecting rent from tenants.

If you are able to get your property back again, I suggest you hire a professional real estate agent to handle any future sale. You might want to avoid selling on land contract. And you might want to screen your renters and buyers better.
