The reason for this is the drug trade.  Large-scale dealers like to buy
houses instead of renting them, to keep the landlord out of the picture.
Transactions are often made in cash, since keeping lots of money in one's
bank account attracts the IRS and other unwanted parties.  I think that
Florida, or some other high drug-traffic state, passed a law a few years
back requiring that large cash transactions be reported to the authorities
by the financial institution receiving the cash.  Can anybody follow up on 
this?
