Tax Lien Targeting Gone Wrong

[Matthew Gould]

I targeted several sewer liens in my area of choice thinking I would receive the interest on them quickly. Three months later, a couple of them now have owed taxes (on top of the sewer subs) that, as the lien holder, I have the opportunity to pay at an 18% interest rate but do not have the funds to keep up. 

If you were in my position, what would you do?
