Want out of vacation rentals but unsure where to move the money. Any ideas?

[Greg Hughes]

I have three vacation rental condos that I have managed myself for 20+ years and I'm ready to stop.  I want to sell them but want to avoid the capital gains tax and still want some income from that money.   I'm looking at moving the money (probably around $825K) into a different type of real estate investment using a 1031 exchange but want something that requires way less hands-on work.  I already have residential rentals and don't want more of that.  

I also have several shop / metal buildings that I rent and would take more of those but I already own the land so I don't think I can do a 1031 exchange.  Or can I?

I was researching DST's but it appears they don't pay that much. 4-7% doesn't get me that excited. Am I missing something on these?

What other types of investments should I be considering?  Any ideas? 

Thanks for any input.
