It's all about the nuance of what you demonstrate by your behavior.Holding time is not the gold standard for 1031 exchanges but depending on your business model the holding time absolutely can be used to change recognition of gain from ordinary income to a capital gain - talk to your accountant to see where you would fall.Most industry professionals are not overly concerned with holding periods of greater than one year qualifying appropriately for 1031 exchanges.  

(In addition to those sources, there are a few others that are less common, such as HUD and SBA)Your track record of experience with the asset class will have significant impact on whether a loan is considered, and whether you can negotiate the terms of the loan, so be prepared to demonstrate your experience, or the team you have built around you who has the experience.Typically smaller deals under 50 spaces will be best suited for banks.
