Tax Lien Investing

[Joseph Hernandez]

Hi everyone!

i've come across some vacant/boarded up properties that i've been attempting to flip. During my research some of them are defaulted taxes facing auction or haven't been paid yet. I'm assuming i could pay the taxes online even against the owners wishes and either take over the house that way over time or at least earn a return on my money if they redeem. What factors are at play here? Any insight or experience is appreciated.
