What happens if there is another COVID like event and STR use is banned for most of the year? 

It helps to network with as many locals in the industry as you can.

These are the different properties that are included in the 1031 exchange requirement: commercial buildings such as offices, schools and different establishments that are important for the population, as well as single family rentals, multi family rentals, industrial facilities, and even raw lands are included in the like-kind.
