Sold by about 1,000 local governments in a majority of states, tax lien certificates (TLCs) give investors the opportunity to profit from unpaid property taxes. This book offers jargon-free background on TLCs and shows how to choose and buy TLCs as part of an overall financial plan. This revised edition takes into account changes in the world of tax liens since the first edition was published in 1992, looking at the impact of the Internet on tax lien research and sales, and offering updated material on current laws and procedures in various states and counties. Moskowitz has been practicing law for 37 years, and has written other books on law and real estate. Annotation 2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
