Im graduating hs this year and looking into working as a realestate broker as soon as the economy improves. Which city will be better for this job and for someone just starting their life?

Miami was booming before the economy took a dump. It will boom again after things settle down.

I was researching taxes on a property in Texas, much to my amazement, I ran along a property that doesn’t have title or anyone paying taxes (I couldn’t believe that someone at the tax office missed this one) but I need some direction. Does someone know realestate law in Texas? How do I get title to the property? Thanks in advance.

The better odds are that SOMEBODY has title to the lot. You would have to do a title and chain of title search (not clear above that you did one). It is probably "part" of another tract of property. My money would be on the idea that the tax department overlooked it and some individual is benefiting by not being billed.

For your sake, I would STRONGLY recommend consulting an attorney, at the very least. Because you’re the buyer, you have a lot more at risk in a real estate transaction than the other party. In some states, any exchange of real estate REQUIRES the presence of an attorney at some point during the settlement.

You can’t require a seller to use a real estate agent, since the seller usually pays commission fees, but maybe the seller would agree to pay a discounted commission so that you can be represented by a real estate agent. If the seller isn’t willing to do this, I’m not sure I would proceed with the purchase. It may be that the seller just doesn’t want to spend the money–but, what if the seller is trying to rip you off? How would you know?

I would always urge a buyer to find a qualified professional to represent them in such significant financial commitments.

Is it better to go with a seasoned Realestate person who may have muti listings or a new person who is HUNGRY for the sale?

I would try a newer agent that doesn’t have a lot of listings. They will spend more time on your listing than a "seasoned" realtor would. Why list with someone that has 100 listings when you can list with someone that has five? It just makes sense!

The answer, with a few exceptions, is always "yesterday". Prices have fallen a bit after a long runup, but will no doubt rise again in the future — but there is no way to tell just when. Start your shopping by looking at properties via a website such as realtor.com.
