County-specific research

We focus on a single county for a reason: tax sales vary significantly between jurisdictions. The timelines, procedures, property types, and practical realities differ from county to county. Generic tax sale guides miss these details.

San Bernardino County is distinctive. It's the largest county by area in the contiguous United States, spanning high desert, mountain communities, and Inland Empire cities. The properties that appear at tax sales here are unlike those in most other California counties.

Our approach is simple: provide accurate, practical information without hype. We don't promise profits or easy money. Tax sale investing requires real research, real due diligence, and an understanding of real risks.

What we publish

We maintain a free introductory report for people new to SBC tax sales, and a comprehensive Playbook with detailed procedures, data sources, and checklists.

We also send occasional email updates when auction dates are announced or when significant procedural changes occur. These are infrequent and purely informational.

What we don't do

• We don't sell courses, coaching, or memberships with recurring fees
• We don't promise returns or guarantee success
• We don't provide legal, tax, or investment advice
• We don't have any affiliation with San Bernardino County or any government agency

Research approach

Our information comes from public records, county publications, and direct experience with the auction process. We verify procedures against official sources and update our materials when things change.

We're explicit about what we know and what requires further verification. County procedures can change, and we encourage readers to confirm current requirements directly with the Tax Collector's office before making purchasing decisions.
