The rising property value has increased the taxes to the point where it is eating a lot of my cashflow.

A lot will depend on what type of real estate you want to become involved with; rentals, flips, wholesaling, brrr, singles, multi-family, commercial, etc.Here are a few suggestions:  (especially for singles and small multi-family)  concentrate on the best school district, get the worst house on a great block, stop your car and get our and actually speak to people working on their yard or just sitting on their porch, eat at a local mom/pop coffee shop--sit at the counter and speak to the waitress and customers.  

I'd like to take you out for a bite to eat and pick your brain on the concept and how you are using it.
