Can I sell my rental and use the proceeds to 'build' my 1031
Can I sell my property in Atlanta to build a rental unit on my existing property? And would it qualify for a 1031 exchange?

No.....you already own the property. A new build is Possible with a 1031 but you’d have to Buy the property and then build/finish enough to use up your 1031 funds within 180 days.
