1031 exchange - Sell in Bay Area and Buy in Sac Area

[Sayantan Satpati]

Hi, 

I am looking for suggestions on strategies for doing a 1031 exchange for my rental condo (1.05m value in the Milpitas Transit Area). Currently, the rent pays for PI/PT/Insurance. 

I plan to buy 2 properties in the Sac area in exchange for this one. Some of the possible ways I can think of are:

1. Buy 2 SFH in Roseville/Rocklin
2. Buy 1 SFH in Roseville/Rocklin and 1 Duplex in the Greater Sac Area
3. Buy 2 Duplex in the Greater Sac Area
4. Last option is to do nothing and hold on to my condo & keep playing the appreciation game

And then how easy it is to do a 1031 with multiple properties?

Looking for suggestions (and help with buying/managing if I decide to move forward) on what should be the best strategy given my situation.

Timeline: next 3-6 months.
