Anyone have experience investing in tax liens or deeds? The 12%-24% interest rates (based on state) makes it sound tempting, but I've also seen infomercial douches hopping on it and pitching it as "risk free investing!!!". There's no such thing as risk free investing, so I'm sure there's a lot more to this than meets the eye.
I've done a lot of research, but it's hard to find state specific experiences and information. My state (MA) does tax deeds as far as I know. I'm sure this market is saturated with major investors, which makes it harder for smaller guys to get in. I'm making very little interest on a decent sized bank account right now, so I'd like to know if anyone here has tried this out and if it's worth the time to study it.
