Best,GZHello @Gabriel Zepeda,As @Andrew Abeyta correctly mentioned, there is not a direct and clean way to use 1031 exchanges to pay off debt on your existing portfolio.  1031s are great for lots of things, and they're really important to serious investors; however, they are not very useful as a tool for deleveraging.
