My wife and I are self employed and run our current business as an S-Corp to save on self employment tax. 

Technology and virtual employment have increased and it is expensive to live in the NE.  

It will also likely be treated as self-employment income and be subject to self-employment taxes.  

Maybe I could sell it via seller financing to someone self-employed with good credit at a higher rate and pocket the % difference?

My "concern" (if you could call it that) would be around the economy of Stockton (i.e employers there, what the growth potential is, how will an investor get appreciation in their investment) - but, for a pure cash flow investor, comparing it to the Mid-West with similar concerns; I'd say this is a fabulous region to consider. 

Also you should think about using you 401K, if you current employer always a rollover to self-directed.

If you are self employed it's very hard if not impossible to get a loan.  

I'm going to make the assumption that I have left my previous employer and can roll over the 401(k) into a self-directed 401(k) because I've started a small business.

Anyone knows what happens if my employer says, "uh yeah, he is outta here in two months.?
