I’m an experienced foreclosure investor, and generally know the risks of buying foreclosed properties at auction. However, there is a property I’d like to purchase that has a substantial tax lien attached to it, and I’m not sure how much I should take that into consideration. Exactly how often does the IRS exercise its redemption rights in foreclosed properties? Are there any particular factors that make the IRS more inclined to redeem a particular property?

I have been interested in foreclosures for the longest time but never decided to research further or take advantage of the market. Because it is a good time to buy I was hoping someone out there can offer some advice (in addition to the recent research I’ve been doing).
Because I don’t know much about the process I will throw around a couple terms I’ve heard lately: REO, gov’t tax lien certificate sales, title & bankruptcy search, property inspection, and HUD foreclosed.
I wanted to try a tax lien certificate but after doing research I’m seeing that this may not be the best way for me since I am so inexperienced. What is the best way for me to purchase a foreclosure and how do I get started? How long does the process generally take? Is there a way that I can see the property before bidding at an auction? If a property is a REO then I should be able to see the property before purchasing, right? Last question, When can I get the property inspected and a possible appraisal (before or after the property is bought)?
Whomever reads and answers this question, thank you in advance! I know this is a long question but I am serious about buying a foreclosure and doing the research necessary to attain this goal. Thank you.

Northern central Florida is the immediate area of interest. Currently I have no resources for buying, fixing and selling. Looking to buy decent property as is at tax deliquent auction at a price I can make a profit

We had our day in court yesterday and received 4 homes in Indiana!
We bought 5 liens and 4 of them became houses…80%!!!
So we spent less than $1000 for four, yes…FOUR houses!
Now we are going to fly up there do any fixing up that is needed, get a couple of realtors excited about selling them and make a huge profit!
Once they’re sold, we will start all over again-more liens and more houses!
Life is great!
Get your own houses for pennies on the dollar!

Well, the Weld County results are in. It was an internet auction held by RealAuctions.Com and the results are very interesting.
First thing to keep in mind is that a lien in Colorado that is sold this year and redeems on the last day of the redemption period (three years) would earn a total of 45% on the taxes owed ($450 on a $1,000 lien). Also keep in mind that the premium you bid you don’t get back. With those thoughts in mind, here are the results.
There were 1,462 liens sold and 165 liens struck off to the county (no bids).
The sane people:
1,280 liens were sold at an average premium bid of 5.80% of the lien amount, i.e. if the lien was $1,000 it took an average bid of $58.00 to buy the liens.
50 liens were sold at no premium whatsoever.
The escapees from the “Happy Dale Home for the Mentally Bewildered”:
132 liens were sold at a an average premium of 75.50%, in other words on a $1,000 lien they bid a premium of $750.50! Remember, if the liens redeem the last day they would make a total of $450 on that lien or, in other words, they would lose $300.50. The only chance they have to make any money on these liens is if they don’t redeem and Weld has a very high redemption rate.
And the prize goes to a bidder who bid a premium of $600.00 on a lien that was $28.99 or a premium of 2,069%!!! - what were you thinging? Or were you thinking at all?
