I will be closing on the sale of my rental property this March and am planning on executing a 1031 Exchange. 

You always want a plan A, B and C. 

Yes i have a balance on my 1st lien of 160k but I close on my new HELOC at the end of March that will open up about 35-40k of added equity with a 90% LTV. 2.

true, few times I see house that's sold for $450k in March only reappear in June for $550k without any changes except previous buyer is buying with hard cash.

Another home in our neighborhood, that is smaller and on a less desirable piece of land, just rented for $1,750/month.Our mortgage interest rate is 3.65% and refinancing March 2020.We are moving cross country and are looking at homes $300,000 or less.If we don't sell our home and use the equity for a downpayment, we have between $10-20K for a downpayment, which would mean we require PMI on a mortgage.We currently make between $250-450 a month through options trading on the RUT.

I got me a little lesson back in March.

My husband and I purchased our primary residence in March of 2020 with a conventional loan at 3.75.

For example, "During the month of March, tell them Spence Kal sent you and get a 15% discount on footwear!"

But the SBA is slow (4-5 months) - we are supposed to close March 30th but ideally we'd at least close by May 1 so I could be ready for the summer tourists on Memorial Day weekend.  

I purchase a home back in March & it has over $40k in equity.
