tax liens

[Romell Haley]

i am interested in the tax liens properties.. I'm from Baltimore and I am new to all of this and wanted to know how would I go about getting my Tax lien certificate....??? Where can they be purchased and how can I find out which houses have liens on them??

@Romell Haley Baltimore city has a tax auction once a year in May. Most Maryland counties have sales between march and the end of June. 

You can go to the Municipal building and buy a list of leftover liens from last May's sale. Most of it will be junk but you may find a diamond in the rough. the advantage of buying the leftover liens is you pay face value and you don't have to bid it up at the auction.

There are some very detailed threads here on buying Baltimore City tax liens and buying from the leftover list. A search should find them.
