How deep is too deep? Chasing tax‑delinquent properties by delinquency year

[Okechukwu Treasure C]

I've been pulling tax records in Ohio and trying to refine my screening process.

One question I keep coming back to: is there a point where a property is too deep in delinquency to be worth chasing?

For example:

· 1–2 years delinquent → owner may be behind but still engaged

· 4–5+ years delinquent → often means bigger issues (liens, title problems, or even forfeiture already in progress)

For those who actively source off‑market deals, where do you draw the line? Do you prefer recent delinquencies, or do you still chase deeper ones and accept the extra risk?

Curious to hear how others approach this.
