You are not allowed to compound interest.If you bought the certificate from the state on a best price offer, you charge interest on your purchase price, not on the full amount of the taxes that were due, but were not paid by you when you purchased.After you obtained your tax deed, you are entitled to something called "mesne profits" if you file an ejectment lawsuit against the former owner and they redeem during that lawsuit.
