Moving forward since I know the rules I will not copy and paste.

It's one of the hottest markets in the US right now with some of the fastest population and job growth and companies moving and developing here.

I would just over disclose on this and move on. 

However, if long-term stability is the priority, sticking with the original financing approach might be the better move.

I am from there and am actually moving back.

==========================My relative is asking if this is a viable way to legally avoid having to pay taxes:STEP 1: SELL PRIMARY RESIDENCE (House A)-Sell primary residence to son-in-law for cost basis + $500K-File gift tax form for difference between sale price & market value-Not pay capital gains on $500K due to personal exemption.STEP 2: SELL RENTAL PROPERTIES-Do 1031 exchange and buy House A back from son-in-law-Rent out House A for 1 year before move back in==========================Thoughts?

The market between the 2 locations & resident class (Especially if you plan to self mange or find a PM company), Your future goals and the costs associated with moving and transferring to a new hospital. 

Like you said, I do believe you'll see more firms with "all services under one roof" moving forward. 

If I had not had my license, then I could not have seamlessly moved into "listing mode."

If you're willing to move to Philly, I'm sure you can find similar success with even less $ out-of-pocket.All the best to you on your journey!
