If you walk through any urban neighborhood or community in America you are eventually bound to see empty vacant lots or boarded up buildings. The effect of these properties on the surrounding community is obvious: an eyesore to the community, a deletion to the community’s property value, a place for vacant automobiles to be parked or stored, a place for homeless people or drug addicts to hang out and sleep, etc. Have you ever wondered how these properties get like this or better yet what you can do to help resolve this problem?

Every year millions of people lose their homes due to delinquent property taxes or bank foreclosures. This book will focus on how to acquire tax delinquent properties from the government.
