Foreclosures & Tax Sales in New York
Partial — free sources, some legwork
Counties post auction lists free (PDFs/web) county by county; NYC publishes its lien sale list openly. No statewide feed; foreclosure filings are court-record based (paid data territory).

Tax sales in New York
Channel
Mixed: NYC sells tax LIENS (via NYC lien trusts, not a public investor auction); most upstate counties sell tax DEEDS at county auctions after in-rem foreclosure
Sale schedule
Annual per county (mostly fall); NYC lien sale roughly annual
Redemption basics
Typically ~2 years before county foreclosure (1 year for vacant/abandoned); none after deed sale
Redemption periods and sale dates are state-level basics — counties deviate. Confirm against the county's own sale notice for the current cycle.
Wholesaling rules in New York — read before you market a deal
HOME STATE - highest care: cannot publicly advertise a property you don't own (19 NYCRR 175.25); sellers have a private right to sue for up to 4x the fee (RPL 442-e(3)); DOS has fined wholesalers; attorney-close state.
Education only — not legal advice. Confirm your approach with a local real estate attorney before you sign anything.
Local notes
NY needs TWO playbooks (NYC lien sale vs upstate county deed auctions). County auction season (fall) is the content anchor.
