Chances of getting financing with a foreclose from 6 years ago

[John Laine]

I'm a SFR investor and I'd like to do a 1031 exchange with a few of my properties into a small multifamily.

I had some financial trouble awhile back and allowed the bank to foreclose on one of my rentals. It will be 7 years next October since the foreclosure. I have a good credit score, around 770 and a decent amount of equity in the properties.

I am in the process of gaining knowledge on the subject, 'The Complete Guide to Buying and Selling Apartment Buildings' by Steve Berges is just awesome! So I'm not ready just yet to pull the trigger but I wanted to get some idea of how having a foreclosure on record will affect my ability to get financing.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
