The last month I have been exploring house hacking options as an easy option.

However, as Zane mentioned in his response, another option is to consult with a lawyer who specializes in appealing property taxes.

Northern NJ has options as well, but MTR works better in a lot of areas because there is demand.

great thing about that is you can move in less than a year and simple turn it into a rental with all units and buy a bigger primary once you have been there a while and know which area might fit better for you and your spouse.If you ever have any questions about Denver or in fgeneral even if you want to talk strategy or options feel free to reach out. 

And you are continuing to invest in real estate a 1031 is a good option to explore. 

Loved the video on the site and the real time sms option. 

So you all have to weigh your options .   

@Chris Kay to learn to properly DIY manage you have two basic options:1) Trial & fire on your own, hopefully not making a major mistake that costs you tens of thousands of dollars.- Once your time is more impotant to you then the cost of a PMC, you can hire one.2) Hire a PMC to guide you on your first rental and learn from their expertise.- You can buy additional properties and DIY manage those, perhaps leaning on the PMC for any issues you're not sure how to handle on your own.Good luck:)

A lease-option agreement can postpone the sale, allowing the seller to receive rental income initially.

Otherwise try an executive office service like Regus (local options are cheaper).
