Probably the wrong forum, but hello anyway.I'm selling a commercial property and will be doing a 1031 exchange.

@Etahn Smith, I've worked with Eastern 1031 Starker Exchange, LLC on several deals.

Hello I’m looking into Arlington VA and the surrounding area I’m not familiar with the market and was hoping someone could give me insight, Personally I lean towards multifamily but is apartment living popular in this area?

@Jay Hinrichs thank you so much for your insight.

@Alex Thanks for the info, appreciate the insight. 

We did a 1031 Exchange a little under a year ago.

Currently we have managed to obtain a 4 unit and 3 SFH and are looking to possibly do a 1031 exchange into a bigger multi unit or possibly use HELOC $ to work a bigger multi-unit complex deal.

We've got the main educators mostly figured out but looking for some of that invaluable BP insight!

Account Closed podcast in August 2017 on Biggerpockets about how to exchange OUT of San Diego to properties that cash flow better and have a higher ratio to equity than you can get in San Diego.

You realize that if you use your loan money from the refi to pay off a credit card and car, all you're doing is exchanging two debt payments for one...and making no progress.You don't use loan money to pay off loans, you use profit and/or cash flow to pay them off.You use loan money to invest with...and to use the money (profit and/or CF) from that investment to pay off the personal debt.
