After the taxing entities get them, they go on foreclosure sale and often the original seller buys them back and sells them again.

$200 an acre is no bargain for that land, unless you think the snakes and scorpions will pay rent.

The problem is that someone had thousands of acres of land, parceled them out and sold them. Once people went to find what they had, they knew it was worthless, and just abandoned them, or sold them back to the original owner, thus making him money twice.

Your parcel may be nestled amongst thousands of others, and there is no infrastructure. No roads, no utilities.
