The best way to have a reliable tenant in your property is to:Buy a property that attracts a tenant segment with a high concentration of reliable people.Work with a property manager who can consistently select reliable tenants.

I ran a couple quick reports on 2 good list segments for Cuyahoga County.ABSENTEE OWNERS with HIGH EQUITY3,036 availableProperty in the county, home value up to $250,000, single and multifamily, high equity, 5+ year ownership, one per ownerSENIORS with LOW FINANCIAL STABILITY SCORE (FSS)1,428 availableAge 50-89, 15+ year ownership (ready to downsize or transition to assistance), owner occupied, single family home home value up to $250,000 with Low FSS.

Worst seller segment - filled with people with no equity, no drive to solve their problems, etc. etc.Watch this 10-minute video from Phil Pustejovsky - "Is Buying a Foreclosure a Good Idea?"

But the principles of commercial real estate apply to all segments.

This is the type of information that is truly needed in our segment and will allow hosts to thrive.

Properties in New Orleans often remain on the market for more than thirty to sixty days for a variety of reasons, some of which make the market distinct.

Done with a sense of grace.The only distinction in lending is to SEC and banking laws exempting private transactions, private lenders known or related.

In most states, there is a very distinct difference between the "Delinquent Tax Roll" and the "Tax Sale List" - which I think @Jeff Zamora was alluding to above.Delinquent Tax Roll: This list contains all the properties in a given county that have missed at least one tax payment (as per @Sean OToole's outline), but these properties have not yet been seized by the county in tax foreclosure (i.e. - in California, I believe property taxes can go delinquent for up to 5 years before they're taken by the county). 

Scheduled to open in the summer of 2019, the $51 million, five- story, 267-unit development will be a large and distinctive presence on the east side of Water Street.- In the past five years, Mobile has experienced a 33% increase in manufacturing jobs compared with about 8% nationally.- McGowin Park developed a huge retail space in 2015 which consists of: 199,500- square-foot retail shopping center containing a future expansion area, five restaurant "pads" and 4.5 acres of outparcel development, and the west development consists of a 148,000-square-foot anchor store with an associated gas station, an 89,600-square-foot shopping center and 7.41 acres of outparcel area.

Which will inflate market prices int he segment seemingly over-night.
