How do I do a 1031 Exchange?

[Rashad S.]

Hello. I have a home that I live in but I also collect rent from. I rent to my children. We are looking to purchase another property. We are in the Bay Area (California). I was told I could not do a 1031 Exchange unless my home is an investment property. Is that true? Is there a way I can speak with a 1031 Exchange expert to figure out how I can make it work?
