The very last part of my original question was whether I could transfer the 1031 status on this house that I'd want to move into to another rental I own?

Quote from @Brandon Croucier: Ive seen credit as low as 450, high as 830.Both of these are the 99th percentile though. thank you for some reason I thought 800 was highest.. its always confusing to me how they come up with those scores.. 

If you have a lot of equity or if you bought the property when your credit score wasn't great (leading to a high interest rate), then it might make sense. 

It’s a bit of a tangled web, but if you need more info on it, do your research first, and then you can contact me to help you sort out the current rules. 3) The tax benefits are severely hampered if you there is any money from your original property that doesn’t get spent on the replacement property, so it’s best to purchase a more expensive one to avoid losing those benefits.4) It is imperative that you do not receive any money directly from the sale of the original investment property.

Hard Money Loans: These are short-term loans from private lenders based on the property's value rather than your credit score.

This assumes there are no third parties who took an interest between the original deed and the new deed (think mortgage lender). 

It was originally a 3/2 and had 3 additional bathrooms added.

So I am military, originally out of CA so it's my "home state"/residency but very easy for me to change as I am stationed out of CA and have been for a long time.I own several properties in CA and one in WA.

Originally, these two units were leased to two different types of business.
