When we bought the property, the area was “desirable” bc its close to a city/metropolis...jobs, city life etc.

I'm talking about Franklin, Jefferson, or Lincoln counties in cities like Troy (MO), Washington, Warrenton, Arnold, High Ridge, etc. 

I'm sorry not to get anybody excited, I'm specially talking about Alabama (Jefferson County to be more specific there was a lot of talk about changes in excess bids of Tax Delinquent Properties and they had a lawsuit judgement in 2007 and the county lost $28 million case for excess over bidsJust wanted to know if all s still the same with the Jefferson County Alabama allowing 15% of the value of the property to over bid the taxes owed and receive 12% int. on their entire investment when property is redeemed .Blessings to all,

I've bought all over jefferson county and shelby county, and All things seem pretty equal as long as you buy low enough.

So on one of the podcasts by Jefferson Lilly he says to downloan google Earth and scroll back through the years looking at the park you want to buy and you can see if it has ever been filled.

@Jefferson Gan I agree there are lots of scams on Craigslist.

So, my wife and I purchased our first investment property in May of 2017 (a 4plex) in Jefferson, La (outsIde of New Orleans).

Cant seem to find much. Anyone know some?

This deal was in Jefferson Parish, but I decided to pass on it. 

Question that has stumped me...I've been mostly looking in Jefferson County, Alabama and have discovered how to cross reference the Default Tax list with the GIS so I can locate and study the property (YEA!).
