Charlie,I invest in AZ tax liens but I have not done Maricopa County.1) OTC in Maricopa is a little different than most other counties.

@Charlie DiLisioYou are absolutely correct.

Thanks for the response @Charlie MacPherson I spoke with my insurance agent and he told me to ask a lender..

I find some great deals doing this, my commercials are branded and work well for me in finding deals - but the important thing is I DON'T WANT to own these property leads - I want to assignment them for a cash profit within 7-8 weeks -- oh, I am also an auctioneer and this is how I find the cash buyers - I put the property up for auction.Some of my nationwide partners work with me on an ad/control/assign program - they pay for the ads, leads come to me, I qualify them and my associates look at the deals, submit a contract to control the property and we take it to auction and make cash profits.I'd say forget about paying off debt now with your little pile of money - but grow it in a system that works with an honest investor who has a reputation of making money in this business.Spend wisely ---- Charlie

@Charlie MacPherson Thank you very much for your response and for the education.

@Charlie Fitzgerald, I was thinking of submitting a low offer starting at $100K hoping the bank would counter me with something and then go up to my max price later on in the negotiation game.
