Dealing with high property taxes

[Jake Hobson]

Hi Bigger Pockets!

      This is my first post, so be gentle.  I wanted to reach out and see if anyone has any advice about investing (buy and hold) in areas with high property taxes.  My specific situation; I'm military and we're moving to San Antonio, TX in a few months.  We're looking to kick off our investment portfolio by purchasing a home to live in for two years and then rent out.  Almost all of the reasonably priced homes have zero to negative cash flow as a result of the high property taxes in the area ($6k per year for ~$250k home).  Any advice on dealing specifically with these high taxes?  Thanks in advance for the replies!
