With 3% property tax a 1/2% rule is considered good!

Basically you will be paying a higher property tax in TX and higher CA income tax as you reside here.

I'm asking this because hypothetically, if the previous owner purchased the same apartment for $5MM years ago and in the offering memo it shows tax as ~$500-600K, and I purchase it for $10MM, would the property tax increase nearly 2-fold just because I accepted a higher price than what previous owner bought at?

Some states do not charge income tax as long as you are out of state, but so if you live there.

Also, Maryland has a hefty transfer tax as I recall.

You also do the same for transfer tax as long as it gets paid by someone.

@Dimitri PaspalarisIf you do sell the stocks, be aware that you may have to pay tax as a result.You may be subject to favorable capital gains tax rate if the stocks are long-term.To avoid the tax hit, you may want to also consider selling stocks that have decreased in value.

As mentioned selling a primary is even better tax wise due to section 121 as it isn't allowing you to Defer tax as with a 1031...it's letting you totally eliminate the tax!
