So, in Cook County when you purchase a tax lien certificate the person who is behind on taxes has two years to pay taxes and redeem their property. 

I decided not to go this route because you can’t rehab until the property is deeded to you (if that’s a word).

Lastly, you can find properties that are behind on taxes on the Cook County treasurer’s website and search Annual Tax Sale or Scavenger Sale.
