How tax-deed properties work as a signal
In a tax-deed process, a county can convey title to a property to recover years of unpaid taxes — sometimes for a fraction of market value. Tracking parcels moving toward tax-deed status surfaces direct acquisition opportunities well before they reach the published auction list, where both competition and price climb quickly.
