Do you give up your better interest rates to do a 1031 exchange?

[Angela Jossy]

If you had a duplex rental property with a great interest rate on its loan but you have the opportunity to sell it on a 1031 exchange to put down 20% on a great deal on a 4plex but the catch is the new (worse) interest rates, do you do it if you have 1% rule kind of cash flow anyway?

@Angela Jossy, Interest rate is only one of several metrics you need to use to figure out what's best for.  A higher interest rate for a property that has greater appreciation potential, less capital expense exposure, better cash flow...Sure I'd do it.  Like @Mike Dymski said, it's about the net impact not the interest rate.
