Seeking Advise for First Time Tax Lien Investment

[Emma Chen]

Hi all and @Jerry K. ,

I have been learning about tax lien investment for a while. I am looking to start my first tax lien investment in Arizona in February. My budget is $10k-$20k.Since I am living in San Diego, CA now, I searched and picked out all counties(6 I think) doing online tax lien sale and one county is drivable distance in AZ. It turned out that a couple of counties have the SAME DATE for the Auction. My questions are:

1. I wonder whether it's possible to register and bid online for different counties on the same day.

2. If I have to pick one county or two to invest in, what are selection criteria?

3. I found one county(on-site auction) is 2-hour drive away from San Diego. I would be happy to show up at the auction if it gives me some advantages over bidding online for other counties.

Thank you for your time reading my post. Feedback and advice are highly appreciated.
