The tax assessor's site doesn't list half of what I want so I'm hoping there is another way.Thanks in advance!

That site is a fantastic resource. 

@Jeffrey HolstLooks like the comparison between value and rent isn't as strong as I thought.I found an older thread that referenced this site... https://www.deptofnumbers.com/rent/My area shows really no correlation between the 2 from 2006 and 2012.

@Jay Hinrichs Yes, the trick now seems to be determining where the ripple effect of the planned plant heads next since adjacent land to the site is certainly not going for farmer prices any longer.  

Hi,I have no real experience with this subject but in my research I found a site that I feel it helps explaining how things work.

But if you want to play it safe, you can also try post-foreclosures on sites like auction.com.

Hello @Christopher Oyenuga, welcome to the site!

The sheriff came on-site to ensure that neither I or the project got hammered.Depending on how much more work more work needs to be done and how much more that work would cost, you may be able to hire the workers directly and make them whole and in the process avoid them filing liens on your property. 

There are threads out there about the site as well.
