Alabama Delinquent Tax Property

[Heath Plunkett]

I'm super new at this, just considering my first foray into the world of tax certificate sales. And I'm looking for the Tax Sales for Dummies lessons. I've been to the property tax transcripts site for my state, Alabama, and I'm able to understand most of what I'm reading. My main question at the moment is...How am I to know what I'm buying? When the "description" of the property is coordinates and letters and numbers thrown in for good measure, it seems daunting. I'm not about to just throw money at it and hope for the best. What's my step to take on a meager beginners budget?
