I lived in Orange County California (Tustin) where $150,000 will get you $4000 a month in cash flow easy.

Hello there, just joined from Southern California after finding BP doing a 1031 related search on Google.We have a rental condo in Orange county that's barely paying for itself but had a major appreciation in the last 10 years, so considering doing a 1031 to out of state since CA is really not appealing to us anymore, and avoid capital gain taxes.I was thinking about Colorado or Pennsylvania, just because that's 2 states we go for family or business on occasion so we know a little bit about the area, but now on BP I discovered you can buy turn-key anywhere in the US.
