Out of State Investor? Where to Invest in Downtown Orlando, Florida.

All over the country, people are moving from high-tax states to low-tax states. For example, you may consider escaping the high-tax burden state of California, to move to “The Equality State” of Wyoming where you can benefit from no personal or corporate income tax along with no estate or inheritance tax.

Changes to the U.S. tax code have encouraged an increasing number of people to move and take their cash to lower-tax states like Florida. A $10,000 cap on state and local tax deductions has caused residents to move from states like New York, Connecticut, and California, where tax burdens are becoming even more outrageous – to low-tax states like Florida, Texas, and Nevada.

The U.S. Census Bureau showed that Florida received more movers than any other state last year. Here at The Listing Real Estate Management we’re seeing tremendous amounts of new residents moving from the North East. New York’s outflow alone to the Sunshine State was the highest with 63,772 people last year. One reason being high net worth individuals earning $650,000 can save more than $69,700 in taxes per year by moving from New York to Florida. These new residents want the tax benefits that come along with living in such a beautiful state.
