My biggest thing is with the options below, what puts me in the best shape to Grow/Scale?  

,You have two options after a 1031 exchange. 

Just wanted to do some research and see if this is the best option or if there are better deals.

Option 1.

One option would be if you cover a certain amount and if it goes over X  amount they need to reimburse you. 

You can use this tool to figure out that part: https://docs.google.com/document/d/100dRzu-iQEIZbR1adxIASdH2...Once you have that you should engage a local broker to discuss the options for those types of uses in your market and they will be able to help you understand the overall picture and cap rates of the various options.

Once you and the seller sign a contract, now you have the options to either keep the property yourself, do flip or long term hold, or assign it to someone else if you don't have the capital to flip the property.

When I explored this option in 2020 my lender said it wouldn't be possible because of occupancy issues (building was not fully occupied), and DSCR.

Estimated rental income about $3200Please weigh in your opinion on these options.

Hi Ruby,Many investors use their HELOC to acquire properties, so this could be a viable option.
