If you want to 1031 exchange to a property outside of CA, then you'll want to be careful about how the California Franchise Tax Board makes 1031s more difficult (no surprises there) when leaving their jurisdiction. 

Reach out to some EAs or CPAs on this board privately and ask if they take IRS representation cases.BP rules prohibit us from contacting you, publicly or privately, even though you asked for help.

You can of course do it yourself, but I think hiring expertise who has lots of experience talking to the appraisers, working for other investors, and potentially going in front of the board and potentially arbitrators is probably money well spent.

I'm also on the Board of Directors of the Rental Owners Association of Lane County. 

The Board ate him and his broker alive.

I have seen this stated on this board and have heard it parroted back by newbie investors, and this myth needs to end.

Biggerpockets banned me from using the message board.

RW or any other experienced commercial real estate brokerage will be a good sounding board for your plan and may have some ideas that have not occured to you yet. 

That’s the “overnight success” that was 8 years in the making).We are honored to have you on board mate and don’t hesitate to reach out to us anytime.We are always happy to help.Thanks again and speak soon

You certainly can 1031 exchange from CA to Hawaii, although the California Franchise Tax Board will make it a little more annoying by forcing you file a new form (Form 3840) each year after you sell...failure to file the form will result in taxes owed.
