Yes, there are many more types of surplus records (unclaimed money) laying around, however, we only teach about the surplus from Tax Deed Auctions that happen in the Florida counties, so we will focus on that type only.
Where to obtain a continual source of surplus records?
1. You could manually seek them out yourself. The best way is to perform the following searches on Google. Fill in different county names for separate searches.
-
-
Tax Deed Surplus ________ County
-
Tax Deed Overbids ________ County
-
Tax Deed Overages ________ County
-
Unclaimed Surplus ________ County
Now, when a surplus list is uploaded online by a county, typically months or even a year has passed since that auction date. Well, you will find that those records were already picked over and claimed a loooong time ago. It is imperative that you obtain surplus records as soon after the auction is over as possible. We did create a video for each of the counties, talking about how to locate their surplus records that they supply. However, these were created years ago and the processes may have changed. We do not have plans on updating this set of videos.
2. You can buy surplus lists from another company who seeks them out and collects the same information the counties give. Typically, those lists do not contain owner information nor do they tell you anything about possible liens. If you buy those lists, there is much more work you need to do after that purchase.
3. You can subscribe to a Surplus List service that provides surplus lists fresh, each day, after the auctions happen. We have 2 websites that do this: TaxAuctionSurplus.com and SurplusDatabasePro.com
