welcome @Daniel Kwon to the bigger pockets family..... i am new myself so hopefully more experienced investors chime in 

@Leo Goykhman

 well i have a list to those pre-foreclosures and foreclosures. i am based here in NYC but have been trying in a different county then my city limits and it is extremely competitive. i guess it is more in direct relation to how is your local market moving honestly. that may determine your approach hope it helps.

@Susan Bearce it is all part of the learning curve i guess, i am lining up financing this is why i am  so interested in your post. its good to learn from others and then take action !

@Tom Yung    i did look into it and wow, but you have to become very informed when engaging in any/all parts of this business i am pretty sure tax liens are not the first place you began your investing career..... i have access to all pre foreclosures and foreclosures nationwide that is why i want to beginning there..... although verification is in order

awesome @Dev Horn

Poconos area *

I am looking into Pennsylvania more towards the poco is area (Monroe county area) although I am a complete rookie....

@Michael Henry how much are homes out there? 

@Tom Yung is there any concerns regarding buying a Reo? As I plan to acquire one? Apart from taxes and the previous lien holders

@Tony Ngo  I would immediately place cameras on the premise and all across. I would cover all blind spots. Both the entry points and the entire place the unit is located in.... I would do it and use it as a business expense on my tax filing..... 

Because I will not loose sleep if I were you. I being a former real estate agent here in NYC people were trying to circumvent my fee and that's just the paperwork process. I could only imagine once they have a place. People unfortunately take the mentality why is the owner being unreasonable until it happens to them.

@Susan Bearce a living trust that sounds like  the lawyer could be an estate lawyer, when someone passes away is in charge of the estate and its affair. I am interested in this story....

@Tom Yung interesting I wonder where you acquired the knowledge on the rules regarding tax liens....

@Franklin Romine  awesome post I didn't know these sources before
