Again, buyers would have to be willing to participate in the 1031 exchange whether traditional or reverse. 1031 exchanges involving multiple relinquished or replacement properties are always more challenging from what I've been told by the QI and the 1031 specialist attorney I have used.And if a traditional exchange, then QI does not take title so lender participation is easier.

Or are there much smaller regional REITs that aren't publicly traded that I could become involved in?
