I would like advice or tips on bidding at the online San Diego County Property Tax Sale scheduled for May 2018.

Most people suggest you take matters into your own hands and file a protest online to get your home's tax assessed value lowered. 

Thanks a lot man,,,It's interesting that there are so many people that would rather bet on appreciation....rather than go for cashflow.

Well, of course I wouldn't bet my money on red, but I am considering investing more of a science, not mere luck.

Online and offline.

My background is in online marketing.

I am only 2 years into this so I have not gone full cycle but I would bet the smaller operators will return more roi than the larger ones.  

i find it a lot more efficient to pre-screen online and then have the conversation if everything seems ok upfront.   

Once you have an address of a property that appears to be in distress, you can go to the county assessor to find the owner (even online in some counties) for free (if you don't value your time), or you can use a paid service that will give you all the details right on your phone while you are standing out front, owner or non-owner occupied, value, comps, equity, vacant, even their phone number.

Know one knows what will happen with the properties surround the old hospital, but I would bet that any neighborhoods around the new hospital's location will benefit.
