@Lee Ripma thanks for the insight. I'd like to combine both of those ideas, a place with all our wants (Bend Oregon but a little more diverse) and where the numbers make sense from an investing standpoint. Thats not shade on Bend I've only been looking at internet statistics on poverty demographics.

Hi all, This is my 1st post on BP! Im looking into selling our primary residence a Single Family home in San Diego CA. My goal is to sell our home and defer taxes using 1031 exchange or section 121 ( I'm not sure which is correct for my situation) take the proceeds to 

1. Buy a new primary residence in a new less expensive less dense market 

2. Purchase 1st MFR rental property

I'd like to accomplish all this while moving to a city where I can raise my young multi-ethnic family that's accustom to a Starbucks and Target on every corner. I'd love to hear thoughts on potential markets. Thanks!
