This is great info.
1: Is it possible to use the 100k 1031 funds I have along with say 50k of my own money to put a down payment on a side by side duplex with equally valued units?
Like can I designate more of one unit as 1031 than another if I live in one unit?
Or does the unit I live in need to be of lesser value if I put less of my own money down?
2: If I put 20 percent down with a combo of 1031 funds and my own funds would I be able to purchase a separate SFH within a year with an owner occupied low down payment mortgage?
We’re getting in the weeds here but I’m trying to move to a new area and reinvest some funds from some investment properties I have. My girlfriend is just finishing up her schooling and internship so isn’t making any money right now but will be able to get a good job shortly after we can move.
So I'm thinking of doing the 1031 into a duplex we can live in half of it and then once she has the new job we can buy a SFH together.
Lots of factors going on!
