Newbie in Tax Sale/Tax Deed

[Roy Ghai]

Hello everyone, 

I am trying to get into tax deed/sale, and had couple of questions. I understand every state has a different law in terms of tax deed/lien, and they go based on that. 

- I have encountered states like Pennsylvania which is supposed to be tax deed, but has tonne of tax liens and no tax deed?

- Also, does the tax deed sale usually happens once a year?

- Is there a central database where you can access different websites for different states/city/county which has tax deeds listed or googling particular state/city/county "tax sale" is the right way to go?

- For the research/due diligence, not being a real estate agent - would you recommend using some resources/websites in particular to start off, and see what would be the real value of the property?

- As a newbie would you guys recommend any useful tips or things to keep in mind starting off?

Thank you for all your help!
