Tax lien and tax deed property investments have astounding rates of return.   You can start with as much or as  little money as you choose.   Such investments have  little or no risk, since  they are backed by good real estate properties if you do a good job of property research. To help you make good choices,  this  booklet is a  handy and convenient  handbook of  checklists of what to look for before you buy. Along with a description of tax liens and tax deeds,  it also presents some historical  background.  To my knowledge,  it is the only  such work in publication  that is in a concise and convenient form.
