As in, a 10,000 person town I'd stay away from - you want a reasonably diversified economy...Here's the main concern I have with your startup plan - Inevitably investing out of your area will put someone locally in a stronger position with regards to negotiating. 

Both are totally paid off and Im looking to do a simultaneous like kind exchange for a property in a ski town in Colorado.  

This Auction was for a 4/2 on oversized corner lot with an additional 2000+ sf of warehouse space for great price in rural town in Texas.

That means I actually know owners in every section of the town.

Granted you're from NJ and your property could be a local one ( = more on the expensive side), but I would explore the alternatives prior to setting your course on syndicating this deal.Best!

My question is this -- does a refinance trigger a tax assessment by the town?

I'm out of town until November 4th as well. 

This is a general guideline but it will differ a little by area.A - new construction with amenities in best area of town, often where professionals and wealthy people liveB - good neighborhoods where middle income live, generally house will be older but well maintained and few subsidized properties C - lower income, mostly rentals, a lot of subsidized like section 8, etcD - dangerous, graffiti, drugs, boarded up propertiesYou won’t find all classes in all areas.

I also have looked around on rents and a homes between that size pretty much all across town are 1000-1300.
