Can I do a partial 1031 exchange?

The loan would either be commercial or residential.

Is it more difficult to get a commercial loan? Are the loan terms (interest rate) for commercial worse?

I would like to identify the city and the type of product to maximize cash flow in northern California for a buy and hold property. I am not as interested appreciation but simply buy and hold. Which city is best? I have $200K to provide. Should I just buy a single family cash? Or take a loan and for a multiunit?
