During that time, I built many pro forma spreadsheets and the only line item in them that dealt with taxation was "property taxes".

This is generally seen as good for fighting against gentrification and allowing seniors to age in place, as your property taxes won't jump up dramatically just because the real estate market is appreciating.Many here in WA, myself included, believe that some of our income inequality and gentrification problems could be solved by adopting California's model of property taxation.

In order to adhere to the law, I would need to refile my (domestic) California LLC as a foreign LLC operating in Colorado - resulting in double taxation, right?

Spend some time educating yourself in real estate taxation. 

In this instance, the IRA is subject to a small amount of taxation on the percentage of income derived from the non-IRA (borrowed) money.

I live in Colorado and would like to purchase my first rental here, but it seems too risky with all of the upcoming restrictions and potential quadrupling of lodging taxes.Seems like commercial taxation of Colorado STRs might be amended pretty heavily.

Sidenote: If the way you were compensated at the old software firm was through stock and you had to realize capital gains, there's a chance you could invest in an opportunity zone in your area to avoid the taxation.
