@Don EnriqueI've never bought a Tax Lien.  However, I once bought my dad a tax lien book and he did some investing in Iowa with Tax Liens.  I say this because it was also hick town like Renville County.  He bought a tax lien.  Never got paid on the taxes so he got the house instead.  He kept the house as a rental for a period of time.  I suspect he made his initial investment back in a few months rent.  The house was worth around $35k

Weird part of the story.  Dad died, mom received keys in the mail from tenant.  We went down to Iowa and found the house full of mold because of a water leak.  Thank God the insurance policy did not exclude mold/water damage.  My mom got paid out about $30k and sold the lot for about $5k.

Maybe you know a lot about Tax Liens.  I just wanted to point out that my mom and dad made more than $30k on an investment of less than $1k.  This was in Fort Dodge Iowa.  Literally one of the most depressing towns I've ever gone to

My $.02 FWIW.
