Lien List of Properties
Hello all:
I frequently use tax delinquent lists as a resource for direct mailing leads. I am looking to see how to go about getting a list of the properties with liens. I am in the south Jersey area. I ask because when I pull tax delinquent data like right now for example, a lot of townships have had their tax sale so there is not many leads on a tax delinquent list right now. But if I could see who they sold to which would be the lien list that would be helpful.
Does anyone know how to get a tax lien list? OPRA hasn't worked in the past. Thanks!

That can certainly be a big pain. I find that the data is never as clean as one would like it to be. All of the services pull data from many different sources and then try to get it as usable as possible.
My first thought would be, why does it matter what type of lien it is? A lien is a source of distress for the seller, and that's what you're ultimately looking for. My second thought is that if something is hard to find out, that may be a good thing for someone willing to put in the work, given that many others will shy away from it. In other words, if they data is harder to get to, then you're going to have less people going after those same properties.
