It is therefore extremely important for you to know how to properly evaluate and choose a SAFE 1031 Exchange Qualified Intermediary for your 1031 Exchange transaction.You should always perform a careful and thorough due diligence review before making your final selection.

If there is one thing I would do different is: I would invest Out Of State in markets that had sustained growth, strong job numbers, were safe and desired, and had favorable Landlord laws.
