They can sell tax free.

We're right next to CA but get the benefits of no state income tax, 4th lowest property taxes, much more friendly landlord/tenant laws, no serious weather, proximity to Lake Tahoe, stable job growth/population growth, etc. 

Invent a global tax (Carbon Tax) and invent a token of credit against those tax's (carbon credits) and shazam a market where traders can buy, sell trade, option, leverage, hedge against these and the flow of them.

You will want to fully understand the tax reporting burden you will face. 

This allows us to close extremely quickly, which is an important competitive advantage.I don’t know how to read our own tax returns, and I’m certainly not going to read yours.

@Steven HsuBigger Pockets is a great place to find a real estate tax accountant.A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

I know that by law you can only do 3 STR (less than 30 days) per year.  

You're free to call it "weighted deal" and there is no law against a bad deal - anything you can talk another person into is technically "possible."

Wanted to still be close to family but maintain a cheaper lifestyle, still have strong appreciation, and much better tenant/landlord laws, taxes, etc.
