1031 for rental property builders

[James York]

I’ve been building to rent duplexes, but started to consider liquidating to 1031 In to something bigger. My dilemma is that my preference is to build. Has anyone figured out a way to do this in conjunction with a 1031 exchange? I am far less interested in existing properties because I can build what I want and control my costs. I appreciate any great ideas or experience you can offer.
