If your work gives you the flexibility to work remotely go for it and take advantage of your IRC 121 capital gains exemption and reinvest anywhere.

@Steve Vaughan I have never done a TIC yet, but can see some advantages in certain cases, especially if a partner is doing a 1031. 

There is really no advantage to putting the rental into an LLC.

But it sounds like there isn’t much more lending advantage to an LLC (besides reducing liability). 

If you are looking for a condo would you also consider a retail townhome, they offer many of the same advantages? 

Much too complicated.And the advantages of have a separate C Corp for providing business services (property management)?

No low-down payment, owner-occupied options.Many commercial mortgages explicitly forbid owner occupancy.Bank will likely require 6-12 months of reserves.If you want to do turn-key, stick with 3- or 4-family properties where you can take advantage of all the mortgage products for home owners.

A Health savings account is even better and of course the CESAs are also great for the tax advantages 

My tsp is currently 100% C Fund because I'm in my early years, I can take advantage of the tax-free 40 years of compound interest.

I was inquiring if there is a difference and or advantage between speaking with one locally (New York) or in an area which I planned to invest in.
