Im basically looking for advice on how i can save as much on taxes as possible.Part of the property is your primary residence, which does not qualify for 1031 Exchange treatment.

None of these communities will be changing to residential neighborhoods, although a couple do have residential 'sides' that full time residents live in and can not be rented short term.Two of the big communities that you will have some issues with self managing are Reunion and Margaritaville.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

We recently relocated from our primary residence to a rental property ourselves (we recently welcomed a baby, and our house no longer accommodated our evolving needs).

Investment Info:Single-family residence fix & flip investment.

They eventually sold their business to another company and things were fine after that.All the others were easy.If you are going to switch, you might want to try that after a resident moves out.  

They are saying that they are 'beseiged' with calls from LA County residents wanting to relocate out of state....to AZ (mostly).

I have 880 credit score, decent savings, and no other debt except for 300K mortgage on my primary residence (worth $1.5 million).
