Thank you Brian Foster and Dave Visaya!

@Brian Foster The thing people from outside TX (except Alaska) have to worry about is the higher property taxes that make up for the lack of state income tax.

It's located in an up and coming part of Portland Oregon called Foster Powell.

@Dave Foster might you have some input on the issue?

Thanks @Dave Foster @Richard Chang - I'll PM you and can point you to a few options.  

@Matt Smith Of course, @Dave Foster is always the expert on 1031s, but I would point out another hiccup for you, which is that your current property isn't an investment property. 1031 exchanges are only for exchanging like-kind investment properties, so you could not sell your current residence and exchange it for a fixer upper.

@Dave Foster the more votes, the more feedback, the more feedback, the more lessons I learn.

Hi @Steven Hamilton II & @Dave Foster! 

@Dave Foster   same sentiment these are NOT complicated and they are common and one should not be freaked out by the OH my god its complicated crowd you need and attorney etc..
