That's good it reinforces my conceptions.  Is it realistic to believe that the smaller investor can survive in the smaller counties?  As an example in Arizona, it's obvious that the large investors are controlling Maricopa County. Is it true of all the other smaller counties in Arizona as well?  Say the investors is forced to receive small gains on interest will the strategies I've outlined result in any property acquisitions in the long-term? Or just a series of redemptions tying up your money for small returns?  Would the redemptions occur fast enough to keep your money moving, allowing the investor to get lucky in the long run? Other investors may find a program called Data Miner useful for acquiring data or tables from lists on the Internet that can be transferred to a spreadsheet.  How do you tell which property has a mortgage?  If you don't live in the area can you rely on google maps or zillow to determine if the property is run down?  In California all the properties that are of any value cost a lot of money to bid on and there are no liens only deeds.  I seem unfortunate to live in such a expensive area.  In Orange County.  Do you drive the properties that that you purchase liens on?  If you can't drive the property doyou have any suggestions that may work to purchase liens?

Looks like it's a bogus setup.  You have to become a quote member,

At considerable cost to get access to their software.

I hear that the tax lady has information on investing in small counties in Arizona with high rates of return.  She also has some kind of software that can remove information from web sites into a spreadsheet format.  This is her website

I have heard that the strategy of finding tax Lien properties that have out of state addresses of owners, are vacant, or require repair are good means to obtain tax liens that are less likely to redeem.  Therefore giving the investor in the first position a chance to foreclose on the property.   does this strategy work

i'm a beginning investor with modest experience in trading stocks.  Looking for less risk Investing in tax deeds and liens.
