Pick one row. Match its identifiers (case, sale or parcel number) and find the completed-sale record and the money record. Comment with: "Matched [types of records] for one row". No names, no case numbers, no amounts. This is the step most people skip. Don't skip it.

This week's assignment, straight from the pinned post: 1. Pick ONE county. Your own, or any county in Florida, Texas, or Georgia — big auction states with public lists. 2. Find its surplus or excess proceeds list. Three ways: search "[county name] excess proceeds list" with site:.gov attached; go to the county clerk of court site and look under foreclosure sales; or check the tax collector / treasurer page for tax deed surplus. 3. Open it and answer three questions: When was this list generated? How many entries have both a name and an amount? What is the oldest sale date on it? Post your answers below — the county, your three answers, and anything that confused you. Confusion is data; the first list is the hardest one you will ever read. One rule: do not contact anyone on the list. That is not this assignment.

Today's step: find the official list for your county. If there isn't one online, send the records request. Write down where the list came from and the dates it covers. Comment with: "Found it — [type of source], covers [dates]" or "Requested — [office], sent [date]". If the office says it has no list, ask for the existing ledger or report that tracks the money it holds. Don't ask them to build a list for you.

Pick one county and one sale type (tax sale or mortgage foreclosure). That's your lane for the week. Today's step: open the county research sheet on page 19 of the Starter Map and fill in the county, the state, the sale type, and the office that holds the money. Comment with: "[County, State] — [sale type]". Nothing else yet. Tip: pick the county you can actually research this week, not the one that sounds biggest.
