@Greg Devlin - in addition to Scott's advice, have you considered a 1031 exchange to reduce your capital gains? 

However, I understand the preference for being in Lexington itself, as it remains the safest bet.

This book is your ultimate guide to tax-free retirement and estate planning using 1031 exchanges and DSTs.

And what are the requirements for those funds during that transition (i.e. do the funds have to be in a separate, isolated account - or escrow - similar to 1031 Exchange) when/if there is a time between the Sale of the first and Purchase of the replacement?

Cheapest paid pln would be $120 + Tax.SRFax ($36 a year) or MetroFax ($80)are better bet as you would be able to retain your fax number.

Exchange of IDEAS concerning notes, creative financing, creative exchanging, wealth building, etc.2.

It sounds like buying a 2, 3 or 4 unit building to house hack is going to be your best bet (or SFH with an ADU).
