I am planning on going to a tax sale looking for any advice.

@Toby Leitzman I was the tax sale specialist for Marion County Tax Sale for numerous years before entering the private sector. I should be able to answer your questions. Generally speaking, do not rely on Assessor's cards for assessed values, drive by the property, bring certified funds in incremental cashier's checks (any left over funds takes 2+ weeks to get returned), remember to pay taxes during redemption period, check municipal liens (demo/repair), determine your exit strategies.
