If you no longer have business operations in the old state, forming a new LLC in the new state and dissolving the old one may simplify compliance and tax obligations.Some states impose franchise taxes and annual fees that could make one option more cost-effective than the other.

Not sure what your monthly cost is, but every vacant month it costs a lot trying to make that up. 

The challenge with unsafe areas is (1) potentially higher cost of maintenance such as broken windows, etc. and (2) this is by no means meant to be discriminatory but anecdotally from people I've spoken to the challenging tenants tend to be at the lower price points.

If you paid $950k and only get $1M after selling costs, don’t bother with the 1031.
