Hello Elena iam just north of Sacramento and iam also new to this web site it's good to see other like minded people on here from this area.

If you hire or do web scraping yourself, you can even get the actual bid data down to who bid what rate for each certificate.

So I got my dad's money back and hit the web!

But I’d also like to end world hunger, so… ;-)Anyway, that’s me.QUESTIONS: A) What’s the best book, video series, web series, etc., that you have personally used to get yourself “up to speed” on rental property investing?

If there is anyone in LI looking to partner up i do possess computer and web skills that could be of use to someone in exchange for just being around someone with experience.

career web school is worth checking out

@Jacob F.Welcome to BiggerPockets the Best Real Estate site on the web.

CHeck with Dpw, it may be on their web site.

You will see that on your next C.E. course.If you are going to provide info via a web site make sure it is a factual site directly sourced from a reliable site i.e. the FBI, or local police department. 

But Steve babiak and Jon Holdman, I have used the appraiser's web site for a while, but have never found any thing regarding liens or anything (except the link to the tax collector's site) that may impact the property financially, but maybe I'm not using it to its full advantage - am I missing something?
