Another Californian to Austin, TX
Hey BP fam,
I love living in San Diego. Friends, family, surfing. BUT, as I've heard "Hate Taxes? Love Texas!"
1.) Could I buy a house in Austin, rent out all of the rooms except my room, and change my residence to TX? I want to do this so that my properties in Oregon will be taxed at the TX rate rather than CA.
2.) Could I live in my parents' old house in San Diego, right under California's nose, so I get all the benefits of California (weather, surfing, friends/family)?
Thank you and Happy 2021!
