Tax Lien Homes

Does anyone know how I can find out about buying a tax lien foreclosure house, particularly in California? I am looking for online resources to help me get started.

I’d really like to learn about tax lien investing but I don’t have real estate experience. Other than commercials on TV and books, are there classes that are available from real estate schools?

I would like to buy a tax lien but I am confused with the 2 yr redemption period here in Illinois. If you purchased a lien in 2008 for the tax year 2006, and the owner did not pay their taxes and failed to pay again in tax year 2007,do  you have the right to purchase the 2007 taxes and foreclose on the property?

I am trying to find out what happens to a tax lien when the home goes into foreclosure and the bank takes the home back? Do you get the deed or just the money you spent for the tax lien back with interest? Also, what happens after I hold the tax lien and pay the taxes for three years if the home goes into foreclosure before the three years are up?

I am trying to find out when and where are tax lien sales happen in Maricopa County, Arizona? Also, what yield can I expect from buying Tax Liens in Maricopa County? I know that the starting rate is 16%, but how far does it get bid down?

My husband purchased a property and he listed me on the deed. The home is now in foreclosure proceedings and I am worried that if I don’t pay the property taxes for the property that I am liable.  Will this impact my credit score and ability to rent?  Also, if a property tax lien is placed on my credit report- how does that work?

Is there a list that states how long a federal tax lien is valid? Does anyone know if an IRS tax lien filed 10 years ago is still valid, and if not, how to remove it?

I have a tax lien on my credit reports, I filed a late extension and I didn’t really owe taxes when they put the lien on (California). I have had it removed three times over the years, but checked my Credit report not long ago and there it was again.

Is there a reliable way to keep this from continuing to happen? Does anyone know?

I know that whatever profit there is on the sale would first go to the IRS toward the tax lien, but what else should I know that might affect the sale. What I mean is, after selling the property the tax lien will not be totally paid off.  How does it affect the marketing of the property and does it affect the buyer in any way?

I am trying remove a paid state tax lien from my credit report. I don’t want to go through credit repair agency to get this removed, what else can I do? I am in the process of refinancing my house and it is hurting my score. Any help I can get would be appreciated.
