Awesome insights, thanks so much :) 

Syndications and DSTs may or may not qualify for a condo like-kind exchange, depending on the asset and structure of the exchange.If it were me, a small MF is exactly what I would purchase next, depending on the amount of the proceedsI would also get an agent to find the next deal for you, one that works with investors and can simply bring you properties that meet the 1031 and your criteria.

Anyway, any insight for an admitted newbie to all this stuff would be appreciated!

Great insight.

So if you purchase a value add with your exchange you can't subsequently use exchange funds to improve.But, if the numbers work you can use a process called a reverse exchange, or more specifically an improvement exchange. 

@Chad Matthews thanks for your insight.
