Delinquent Taxes and Vacant Land

[Eric Fox]

Hello all,

I am interested in acquiring some vacant land parcels in my area (Phoenix, AZ) and wanted to do it by going directly to the the property owners who were behind on their taxes (through the Maricopa County website). Trying to find the ones who want to unload their land and I would pay the taxes and compensate them for their asset. Getting in touch with these people via direct mail, door knocking or phone calls, etc. I do have MLS access as well but the county website does provide plenty of information.

Is this a viable method to acquire vacant land? If so, who is actively doing it? Anyone in my local area? I would love to treat you to some coffee and pick your brain.

Thanks!
