However, as I've experienced in many markets, do not rush to burn bridges...because often times, the grass is not always greener on the other side... 

Cutting the grass and well kept yards.

@JD Martin I agree with @Ned Carey s strategy as far as bidding.Maybe you could also stop cutting your grass.

Renting in an owner occupied area immediately brings down the value because people that have the money to buy don't want to live on the street with tenants because they don't cut their grass or care for the property the way an owner does so they go to the neighborhood where it isn't this way, which in turn, makes the owner on the street selling reduce the price to get it sold. 

Drive for Dollars, get a tax sale list, mortgage foreclosure list, have some addresses with high grass or look ugly.

I am not aware of too many wholesales that require the grass to be cut in order to double your money. 

When you say taxes there are fed income taxes maybe long term capital gains or short term-not sure.
