Doing tax liens in New York (or online auction in other states )

[Tina Wang]

Hi, there

I am new to the forum, and have started reading old posts here.  They are very helpful.  Thank you all very much for the sharing.

I am in NYC, and the city doesn't sell tax lien to individual investors.   From what I read here, at the beginning, it's better to focus on one state, and invest in counties where you can go visit.  So can anyone please give me suggestions which state and which county should I start?    Anyone here also live in nyc,  and choose online auction to invest in another state?  

Thank you in advance.
