@Jason Collins, There's quite a bit of misunderstanding about how expensive and how complicated it is to complete a 1031 exchange. 

@John Collins multi family

@Heather Collins Property and business insurance is your first line of defense. 

@John Collins when it comes to travel I will not be travel often as the base is a training base (3yrs at least)As far as the rental and the forever home I don’t think I’d be 100% comfortable paying both mortgages unless I have tenants.

In fact some finance gurus (JL Collins, excellent $12 book on Amazon called "A simple path to wealth") believe in not owning RE at all as a primary residence (as one strategy), you can be more liquid and free to move anywhere and rent anywhere at any cost you want, let landlords finance your living with minimal CAPEX cost (landlord pays for landscaping and plumber etc.)Just things to think about.

@Jason Collins asking for someone to predict what interests rates will do for the next 20 years is a pretty tall order.
