I don't think it's the norm because it doesn't sound like most of these things happened in this case.

Also, I've participated as a bidder in one auction where I live in FL. There was no notice posted on the property. I don't know if the other things happened.

By the time it goes to auction it's already been foreclosed on.

It's way different where I live. There is no foreclosure before the tax deed auction.
