Can I 1031 Exchange in this Situation?

[Clayton Crouse]

BP Community,

I am in the military and am getting deployed soon.  As a result I am moving my family from Tucson back to ABQ, NM and into a property we currently own outright.  We had leased the property for the preceding 3 years.  My question is if I move my family back into the property for the duration of the deployment, can I still 1031 exchange it when we are ready to sell in the future or do I need to lease it out again prior to the exchange?

Thanks for any/all help...
