When the property is sold, the depreciation recapture rules will apply, reducing your tax basis and potentially increasing your taxable gain.This sounds like it is straight out of chat gpt and does not answer my question. 🤣  Completely agree

It’s just not how the tax world works.

But my kids are really into Tax Sales ~ but the best deals they get are using the tax sale list to contact owners . . . offering to clear / pay tax debt and give owner some $ for house ( so they can afford to move out. )This must all be done BEFORE the auction  If owner does nothing, and house sells at tax auction, then they get nothing ~ loose the house and the sheriff evicts them  This is all not easy ~ and the success rate is probably less than 1% . . . but they've got some amazing deals. 

I am guessing you mean what happens if the sales price of your house is not enough to cover taxes owed.

My sister and I are currently analyzing single-family and small multifamily rentals in Cleveland (Cuyahoga County), and we’re trying to get a more accurate estimate of property taxes for deal analysis.We know that the current tax amount shown on the Cuyahoga County Property Search site is based on prior assessed value, and taxes don’t always adjust immediately after a sale.

"Tax the rich" = send money AWAY! 

When done right, pairing REPS with strategies like cost segregation or short-term rentals can unlock some serious tax savings.Really like how you framed it, appreciation and cash flow get the attention, but taxes are often where the real wealth is built.

The extra cash flow that results when you don't have to pay taxes can be used to upgrade the property or purchase additional properties.

I would work with the PM company to get a poll out, or since you were there for a long time and working with the tenants directly you should have their contact info and can poll them directly.
