Intro and question about AR tax liens

[Kat Wyninger]

Hi all - I'm just getting started learning about real estate investing. My plan is to start with tax liens in Arkansas. I've been reading and looking at the post auction properties on COSL. When looking at the maps a lot of the properties look like an alley, small strip between two houses, or even ditches???? Can anyone explain what's going on? Would love to get feedback from anyone buying post auction properties! Also, are there any real estate investing groups or meetings in the NWA/Fort Smith Arkansas area? Looking forward to learning!
