I thought it was an old wives tale, but it was published in a book about the Oregon trail, so maybe there is some truth to it.

These books don't even get into state and local laws, which need to be researched where the property is located.That being said, there are several short guides published for free by BiggerPockets.

Both are published by B.P.

This is in Texas (non-disclosure state):price: U$ 720,000 - No exemptions - published at MLS2020 taxes: U$ 6,104 | 2020 assessed value: 256,677 | 2020 tax rate: 2.392%2019 taxes: U$ 6,174 | 2019 assessed value: U$ 257,625 | 2019 Tax rate: 2.396%QUESTION: If this house is bought hypothetically at U$ 720,000, would that possibly trigger a re-assessment by the county, then applying a tax rate (let’s assume stays around 2,39%) against the sold price U$ 720,000 turning taxes into U$ 17,208 (increasing from U$ 6,104 paid in 2020) how likely is this scenario ?

Your local county will also likely publish upcoming foreclosure sales in some form (their website, paper, local office).

We don’t do much paid advertising, most of our business comes from referrals or word of mouth, but I just hired a marketing intern for the summer to help create and publish content.

You typically have to give notice by certified mail, publish notice in a paper, and then can auction the items off.

But you need that standard in writing and published and to follow it to avoid any discrimination issues.
