Institutional investors have been investing in tax liens for years, as recognized by Standard and Poor's:
"Historically, tax liens have been sold to individual investors attracted to an above-average yield and the security of an eventual right to foreclose upon the underlying property that in most cases is senior to other claims (with the exception of previously imposed federal tax liens). Another trend is that institutional lien purchasers... are becoming more dominant at tax lien auctions around the U.S."
