For example, if Mr. Jones owes $2,000 in real estate taxes and hasn't paid it, the county will place a lien on his property. Eventually the lien will be auctioned to an investor.

You may have to pay for the information. The best way is to contact your local department instead of paying for a national service.
These are short-term investment opportunities. After the lien has been auctioned off, the county lets the owner know that they might lose their property to the lien certificate holder if they don't pay the taxes, interest and penalties. This gives the owner another chance to pay the bill and keep the property. If they don't pay, the lien certificate holder can foreclose on the property.
