And, I don't know TX law, so I'm not sure if there would be any difference as to the specific rules that may be different in TX, but, it's an old law from merry old England that made it's way to the US, so odds are there is some version that would apply to you in TX. 

I'm in a similar situation as you, hailing from the Boston - New England area and looking into out-of-state investments.

@Nathan Kurz - I don't know any RV investors in Austin, but one of my partners owns over 500 pads in the Northeast, primarily New England.

@Josh Banwart As @David Pere mentioned, I'm currently stationed in England and investing in the states via multiple different strategies, so I would love to hop on a call and talk to you about it if you'd like.

I am considering the New England market for my relocation and need to decide whether I should consider a 1031 replacement property in those areas or in another state.

Another option is to come home to New England but Boston is getting pretty hot too.

I’m looking around New England, NH lakes region, white mounts, skiing. 

@Jaekwan Lee Not sure where you’re located or how applicable this will be but as I live in northern New England this is a big concern for me.

My partner and I now find ourselves in a strong financial position to start our RE investing journey and have set our sights in New England, specifically Rhode Island due to the excellent natural environment and our desire to ultimately relocate there long-term. 

@John Su I live in northern New England where there is lots of snow and on any multi family property the landlord typically takes care of snow removal.
