You do not get possession rights as a matter of law, with the new lien auction. My video includes a strategy for gaining possession using principles of general real estate law, but the tax sales law does not allow it, per se, like it does with the old certificate auctions.

I can understand where that is an issue for most. For me the end goal is possession of the property so taking a chance of redemption at 0% worth it especially when even 12% equates to the amount of lunch or dinner lol.

 You also have to bid 0% interest to win most liens and therefor make no money when they redeem. 

Hi @Ashley G., I like that they are much  more clean. Fewer booby traps.  Smaller capital investment favors small investors over institutional investors. I have come up with a possession strategy that works for the right properties, so that isn't really a drawback to tax lien investing. Warning: Possession ONLY with my strategy and ONLY on the right properties.

I'm new to tax property investing but in my opinion it depends on your end goal, redemption return or the property itself. I personally prefer the new lien sales....but again that is based upon my small amount of experience. 

@Ashley G. you seem to have a lot of good practical advice based on experience. What else would you say an investor can/should do to increase their odds of reaching their ultimate goal of a quieted, clear title? Like your advice on having documented contact with the taxpayer recorded with the redemption office - the details that make real differences in how judges are ruling on these things.

For the sake of relevance for myself, I’m asking about vacant land that could be argued to be abandoned or just vacant for years at a time. No structures, and no maintenance by owner. I’m just looking for the practical to-do list when it comes to crossing all t’s and dotting all i's, so when I bring my pile of documentation and evidence to a motion to quiet title, there won’t be anything to base an objection on. Thanks in advance!
