The score, and why

Four things about the record, weighted, with the reason for each. It says nothing about the house itself.

Pro

Not scored yet. Scores are written after each nightly read.

ZIP 33852: rent and home value

Area numbers from Zillow. Asking rent across houses, condos and apartments together; the typical home value in the middle of the market. Neither is this parcel.

Liens and deeds

Florida tax deed facts: the owner can redeem until the winning bidder's full payment reaches the clerk, and not after. Mortgages usually do not survive a tax deed; some government liens can. Title companies generally want a quiet title action or a title certification before insuring a resale.

Deeds, mortgages, liens and releases are on the county clerk's official records. Search by the address and by the owner's name from the appraiser record. A mortgage with no release after it is a mortgage still on the house.

Owner contact and a mortgage and lien check are on the Investor plan, 50 of each a month.

Before you bid

The owner can pay up and cancel this sale right until the county takes the winner's money. In Florida there is no getting the house back after that.
A tax deed usually wipes out mortgages, but government liens can survive. You will likely need a quiet title action or a title certification before a title company insures a resale.
Nobody has been inside. Drive by. Assume repairs.
Read the county's deposit and payment rules. Most want a deposit to register and full payment within a day.
