property taxes?

The hard thing with commerce is the property taxes are higher and some areas aren't that great.

The reason goes back to RE investing 101 - you make money on equity, deleveraging, apreciation and tax shelter - cash flow is actually the smallest, while still absolutly vital to keep your biz alive. 

Combined we are making about 250-300k annually pre-tax.

Real estate specific tax law is very complicated and dynamic.

However, without having W2s or 2 years worth of tax statements for my business, I'm having trouble finding a loan.

I like the idea of investing in Vancouver Wa. for the tax break, but I know little of that of that city too.

The major con is this tax implications (much higher), but you are closing.

The issue here is high capital gain tax, the 30K capital gain will be taxed with 25% + your personal income tax, when you two are able to invest 80k-100k the first years and later 200k-300k then your tax bracket is already very high.
