Why sheriff sales are hard to scale
Limited visibility
Auction lists change; status fields matter. Without a unified view, you chase stale leads.
Title and occupancy risk
Investment math fails if you ignore eviction timelines, condition unknowns, and legal diligence.
Unfamiliar turf
The best margin might be outside your usual neighborhoods - you need comps and rent fast.
