I am trying to do my first 1031 exchange and I my question centers around the type of loan product I am trying to use.

If you are in the Denver area, our real estate team hosts monthly meetups all centered around house hacking (which is our niche).  

There is a community center and very well kept park (basketball courts and land is in great condition) within walking distance.

To Pre-Register for the Event click this link:https://www.realimpactevents.com/What an incredibly special event we are bringing to you on March 12, 2022 at the Sheraton Arlington Hotel, 1500 Convention Center Dr, Arlington, TX.

When it's 5 year fixed loan versus 10 on retail center they STRESS TEST the property with appraisal.

I really like Temple and Belton (Right on I35, great school districts, university, major medical center), but I would also look at Harker Heights (nicer submarket of Killeen).

Lastly we will visit 120 acre parcel that we have a Loooong term option on that sites right across the street from the Urban growth boundary and city limits and is within 2 miles of Intels 10 billion dollar fabs and all sorts of other industrial ( largest tech employment center in Oregon) and this one we will do a deep dive into how you set up these very long term Options that once the property comes into the city it will be a life changing event for the partners and how some of the partners have used their Roth IRA's to pay for their yearly option payments and ownership interest  IE got into the deals before they were 30 and will end up with MILLIONS in tax free profit before retirement age their retirement is set without having to spend one day managing any type of real estate this parcel is dry farmed yearly for grass seed so don't even have to mow it and we get enough income to more than pay the property taxs but not the option payments.The bottom line is BP Con and BP members put us over the top in raising funds for our home give away to a deserving first responder.

Of course, part of this strategy would also center around keeping the spread between rents and mortgage payments at an acceptable level, so you may have difficulty participating in too many low down payment fha loans depending on your actual salary. 

Setting very near major Interstate Hwy, Downtown and Medical Center, private and commercial properties. 

They’re right in the center of the state it’s easy access to the highway which makes for a reasonable commute to just about anywhere in the state. - as far as what to look for I’d say run your numbers and get good at running them.
