Tax Lien Investment in Alabama

[Laura Tabarez]

Hello Community! 

I'm so excited for my initial post. I am finally ready to jump into real estate investing as I have been saving up for the last couple of years to do so. I am looking into getting started with tax lien certs to gain hands-on experience with the business, and with lower risks. I have made a connection with another investor who is offering to sell some tax liens over to me. I am familiar with the auction process, but not with whole selling tax liens. Can anyone help me with how I can make a better-educated decision about this? What questions should I be asking? He is also a contractor who says we need minimal (2.5K) repairs to make them "livable" - that term scares me. Anything would help! Thank you in advance for this AMAZING community. 

Here is an idea of the offers I currently have.
