If you've already had a vacancy-related claim denial, that doesn't stop our purchase — we don't require active insurance to close.

Squatter risk in Alabama accelerates with vacancy duration. Montgomery properties unoccupied for 90+ days attract occupancy attempts in certain Montgomery County neighborhoods.

Vacancy insurance riders in Alabama kick in after 30-60 consecutive days of unoccupied status, costing 200-400% more than standard coverage.

Vacant-property registration in Alabama requires owners to file paperwork annually, post emergency contact information, and maintain visible indications of monitoring. Montgomery ordinances charge $200-$1,000 annual registration fees. Selling avoids enrollment.
