My problem is not so much with the high property tax, as you can still make money if you buy the house right and the rent is high enough (and that is the case in many houses.)

In that case the agent should stay neutral to both their clients and act as a transaction broker (this is at least the case in CO, your state laws may differ).

There was a recent case in the news (not the first or only one by any means) of a young landlord and his girlfriend who went to speak to a tenant residing in a rural area who was being evicted. 

Case in point: A friend of mine has four children and was moving cross country.

Case in point a 3/2 block home in a nice neighborhood in Chuluota.

Case in point -- A couple of months ago I was working with a family that wanted to purchase a lender owned property.

Case in point, there was no indication that you had replied to my post.

I'm guessing that is also the case in the nicer parts of LA.You appear to be in a strong financial position with knowledge and experience in a good out-of-state cash flow market.

Case in point....OUCH !!!

I thought it applied to other cities and the case in Bedford set the legal precedent?
