I am in MN and have a couple 1031 intermediaries I could refer. If anything you may want to follow one of them on LinkedIn if you would like to learn more about them.
I agree with the information posted above, it is hard to do a "regular 1031" in MN right now as inventory is down and you have to spend all the sales proceeds or you will pay taxes on any cash received. I decided not to complete a 1031 on my last deal even though I already had one property lined up. My plan was to sell the one house and purchase 2 houses. The market didn't provide me much hope and the last thing I wanted to do was purchase a house that didn't meet my investment criteria.
I am a CPA and have worked on many 1031 deals, feel free to message me any questions you have or if you want a local 1031 contact.
