1031 advice

[Page Caldwell]

Due to divorce, I'm suddenly having to do a 1031 for the 1st time.  I have found properties in several cities, but how do I determine the feasibility of each site?  I am aware that the broker works for the seller ultimately; pro forma rents seem like pie in the sky; and either the broker is overly enthusiastic or too cautious.  Whom do I go to for impartial analysis?  A real estate attorney--and do I need one?  Or a CPA?

Thanks in advance.
