The 1031 is still available to you if you move your property out of state but there are some reporting requirements that your accountant will need to be familiar with although they don't necessarily need to be CA based since so much of your life is outside CA anyway.Since 1031 is a federal statute followed by the states and since so many transactions start in one state and end in another, you'll want to focus more on QIs with demonstrated experience nationally and get the one on your team that works best with your accounting and legal professionals.
