( Refining the Go and No property search criteria/ Learning the value of taxes and avoiding them as much as possible/ 1031 exchanges) Depending on my wife’s career orders, we may remain in Baltimore for 1-2 years, but I’m also exploring opportunities in West Texas, Sierra Vista, AZ, and Houston, TX.

If you’re not already using similar software, I’d highly recommend exploring these options—they can save you a lot of headaches down the road.

We are an LLC, but I wanted to know what type of reputational hit this will be for us and if this would show on our credit in any way.

I'll be exploring these options in parallel.
