What the Maryland rules mean for your lists
Maryland sells the unpaid tax, not the house, so a tax-delinquent owner usually keeps the property through the redemption period. That makes the delinquent list a long-running list: owners stay reachable for months or years, and the earlier you write, the more choices they still have.
Mortgage foreclosures in Maryland go through the courts, which takes months. Owners with a foreclosure case can be reached long before a sale date, and a sale before the auction can protect their credit and equity.
If you buy and resell, plan for Maryland's seller disclosure rules: they apply to every resale of a home, including a flip.
