Hi @Karen DiNapoliGood question.In my opinion: it's all about the cash flow, not necessarily about the taxes or the other expenses.So for example, I live in the Philadelphia area and in West Philadelphia the taxes are lower than they would be in the county outside the city where I normally invest.

Has anyone worked with a public adjuster on Long Island (Nassau County or Suffolk County) or in the New York City area to help with an insurance claim? 

Look at Lake county   not the east side of the lake but the west side..

Absolutely I understand, depends who you are dealing with when getting a loanWe usually operate in middlesex and Essex county, we have been looking at properties in south jersey as well by oaklyn and collingswood area.

Tax Deed auctions look like the homes that belong to the the county.

Well since I spent the better part of 40 years in Bay area and 15 specifically in Napa Valley and the last 20 in Lake Oswego and have done a ton of business in Yamhill county and own property in mac and all over the foothills when I was logging.
