Going to be doing my first 1031 exchange. Need Help where to invest it

[Aaron Laprade]

I will soon be selling my rental condo in downtown Tampa and I should walk away with $500k. I would like recommendations as where i should go to invest it. I want to be out of Florida as I live there and have other properties here. We would like someplace family can visit 2x  a year and VRBO it the resto of the time as I should be able to have no mortgage on the property.  I have been looking at Lake Homes in Georgia and Places in Myrtle Beach as there is a direct flight from  Tampa to MB  that would be great!  Is there any recommendation on an area that I should be looking to go based on budget . My head is going to explode as not sure where is best to look at

@Jordan Holmes, I'd have to go into witness protection!!!  6 generations of Fosters would be hunting me down :). But thanks for those kind words
