I heard a radio commercial today for getting into tax lien collection.

The commercial was one of those upbeat “be your own boss for as little as $200!” type ads. In effect, you can either attempt collections (50/50 split with the company), or attempt to foreclose on the properties (“acquire property at pennies on the dollar!”). It absolutely sickened me they were hiring people to steal peoples house because of back taxes, which are usually minimal. And let's face it, it's usually lower income people that they're targeting for collections and repossession. This was in the DFW market. Has anyone else started hearing about this?
