Thanks @Jaycee Greene for your insight. 

I sincerely appreciate your insight.

It's very insightful.

Consult an expert, but my understanding of a 1031 is that you can't pay cash for the next deal unless you paid cash for the original one. 

Ask them if they'd mind sharing their experience with you.. if they'd recommend the area or not, and lastly if they could maybe send you a P/L sheet to see their income, expenses etc.You might run into some hosts that aren't responsive or any help, but it just takes a few people to share insight to get a good idea of the market you're dealing with.
