"Once you buy your first tax lien, you enter the servicing business." As an alternative investment class, tax liens are particularly cumbersome to comply with a myriad of statutes while administering volumes of paperwork and processing thousands of transactions. This costly, error-prone tax lien servicing is composed of Portfolio Management, Collections and Payments, and Analysis and Reports.  When portfolios grow beyond 100 tax liens manageable by spreadsheets, investors face 3 tax lien servicing options:

Outsource Tax Lien Servicing
Build Servicing Systems
Buy Servicing Systems


Outsourcing the back office transactions to their parties allowes investors to focus on investments rather than operations, and often provide peace of mind, but 3rd party servicing comes at a price. Typically a $1 million revolving portfolio costs $85,000 annually to outsource servicing.

Many investors are tempted to build servicing systems to manage their operations in house, but mistakenly believe such systems must be custom designed and built.  Consequently, the average busines owner spends 180% more than budgeted for a design that is a mere 33% of scope ... and 200% later than scheduled. (Bloomberg Software Research Group, 2014)
